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. They provide with good ankle support and foot protection. You have to use wax to make them waterproof. They are best suited for heavy load hiking and mountaineering on the rock and snow terrain.

They are step-in crampons compatible and though I used them for vertical ice climbing they are, in truth, too soft and do not provide enough ankle support for this purpose. They are pretty warm and make it possible to hike down to 0-5 F if you wear liners and one pair of thick woolen socks. All in all these are pretty good heavy leather boots for mountaineering.
