"On the positive side: The boots are very light, but still rigid, and well suited for crampons. They are relatively narrow, which makes them a perfect fit on my extremely narrow heels. I had an extremely positive feeling in the boots when moving upwards, both over snow / ice and over rocks."

"I'm fortunate enough to have only paid 270 NZD for these boots which are not normally sold in NZ.

I've been using them for about two months now mainly on Mt Ruapheu In NZ north Island. They have been great for ice climbing with an really stiff sole from the carbon fibre shank."
