I just used these boots to complete the Grand Traverse Backcountry ski race. A 40 mile course through the rugged Elk Mountains between Crested Butte and Aspen. The boots worked incredibly well. They were comfortable for the long skinning sections and I had good control on the steep and scary descents. I used a pair of Superfeet insoles to add some arch support and improve my downhill control. The insoles that come with the boot were much too thin and offered no support. The boots were warm even on the bitter climbs over 12,300 ft Star pass and Taylor pass. If breaking trail a pair of gaiters would be nice but not mandatory as the thinsulite insulation worked even while being a little wet inside. All in all a very good boot that can handle a lot of abuse and doesn't cost a fortune.
