I have now had my Glacier's for a week here in Afghanistan. Outstanding boot! An average day is humping a 30 kilo ruck at altitude on rock, scree, ice, and snow. Then turning around and going south with 115F temps on near vertical shale. This boot has excellent ankle support and NO break-in time. I was amazed. Good boots mean life or death for me and my team—these boots perform. My only suggestion is that I would like a lug sole option.

This is an outstanding boot. I go on week-long missions with a heavy pack (30-40 kilos) in a places where your boots simply cannot fail. Snow, rock - LOTS of rock - at altitude, and great support. Through the years I have rolled my ankle several times and worry about that, but not with this boot. Exceptional performance in true life-or-death situations. When I'm done here—I retire this year!—I'm ordering another pair for the adventure climbs back in Colorado that I am sooo looking forward to! Major Dean H. Afghanistan
