"This is an update on a previous review. These boots are still going strong, I have finally broken them in, used them in several winter mountain farays and as long as it doesn't get below -15 C they're warm enough. Carefull on those long belays where your partners thrashing about above."

"I bought these boots after destroying several pairs linecutting. I don't do that anymore but I fell in love with the design. They looked tough. Since then I have used them on several climbs, including some 5. 6 - 5. 7 rock climbs with a pack on."

"First of all the break-in period takes some time, but this is to be expected from a full grain leather bombproof boot. I found it to be totaly waterproof on the hiking trail. One of the nice features of this boot is the pully lacing system which allows equal and distributed lacing quick and easy."

"I've been actively using these boots for 4 years for total of probably more than 100 days of heavy hiking/mountaineering and some ice climbing. The boots require a considerable break-in period (2-4 weeks). The boots are very robust and virtually undestructable."

"I took this boot on a couple of miles of break in when new and then did two 5000+ ft day climbs on the weekends and they appear to be very nice & comfy now. In fact, they were already pretty comfortable on my second hill climb.

These boots are so beautiful that it break your heart when these smooth leather boots get scuffed up or scratched from use."

"Before buying these shoes I did read some of the other reviews on the Cliff (a mixed bunch). So I guess it is important to try on the shoe yourself, but here is my review.

In very short: It is a good heavy trail one piece full grain leather boot with some nice extra features for those that need something for work (foresters; geologist etc."

"These are the greatest pair of boots I've ever owned, I love them. I took them on a trip to Montana carrying a 80lb pack for a week. They did everything perfect. I hiked, snowshoed, climbed vertical ice, and did some bushwacking. There also very warm even though there rated as summer boots."

"I have used these boots on numerous rough trail backpacking trips with 42-50 lb pack, and these boots have always held up to my expectations. For mountaineering in most of the continental 48, they are much preferred over bulky plastic boots. With these there is no need to carry approach shoes as with plastic boots, and they weigh significantly less."

"These boots are a climber's dream, do not get these if you want to look pretty in hiking boots, if thats what you want, get those oogly Sundowners. These boots may seem to take forever to break in, however if they are used for their intended purposes, they do break in quite easily."

"I found that these boot hold up exceptionaly well on very rough trails i. e scree fields and glacier travel. The thick soles add a lot of weight to the boot and are very stiff but the treads can grip anything. The pulley lacing system enables you to tighten the boot down better than any other boot, but also makes it possible to cut off curclation and freeze your toes."
