User Review: Galibier Super Guide

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: general mountaineering
Break-in Period: 1 week
Price Paid: $75 (in 1973)

This was the first boot that truely fit me, so break-in was quick and easy. The last is narrow at the heal and wide at the ball. If that describes your foot, search for these boots. The wooden midsole makes cramponing long pitches reasonable and keeps feet warm after a day on snowfield and glaciers. Thirty years and more of climbing and ski moutaineering in the Rockies and Cascadia, they are still as good as, if not better than, any other boot I have chanced to use. Totemic objects beyond criticism. Buy them at any cost.
