I read the previous review and I don't think it's fair to rate a boot poorly simply because it doesn't fit you well. I've had these boots over a year, have put well over 250 miles on them, used them on snow, ice, rock, and dirt.

They're fine on trails (a little stiff though), excel on class 3 or 4 terrain, and have been fantastic on steep snow (couloir) climbs here in Colorado. I've used these boots for just about everything and have really tested them on some tough terrain and have not a single complaint, not to mention I've never even gotten a hot spot let alone a blister.

Fit is different than performance, this boot performs very well in a variety of conditions, and has proven to be durable, with a nice sticky sole, great ankle support, and great crampon compatibility. I love this boot.
