Break-in Period: couple of miles

Price Paid: as low as $110 sale

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. I've attached CM step-in crampons on both my hill climbs to do some icy average steepness trails with no troubles. I been using a thin silk sock liner, expedition weight capilene sock and strategic placements of moleskin to my lower shin and above the heel to protect me from the boot. I would encourage who buy new boots such like this not to lace up their boot too tightly until the boot is broken in. The pulley lacing system is so good that it can very easily be overtightened. Also buy these boots large enough so that your toes do not touch the front of the boot.
