From Altrec Outdoors:
"Recipient of Rock & Ice magazine's Editor's Choice award for Best Value, the Garmont Men's Tower GTX Mountaineering Boot bridges the gap between a stout approach boot, and a modern speed mountaineering design. The upper features Gore-Tex Sierra lined suede leather and low stretch Schoeller Grundware, making it extremely lightweight, waterproof, and abrasion resistant. TriMicro rubber that is strategically placed in varying density layers, provides an outstanding cushion ride, while saving weight, and targeting climbing sensitivity areas. Crampon security, and excellent performance edging, is enhanced with a rigid full-length FrameFlex nylon and Fiberglass insole, and Tech PU durable heel insert. Whether ascending the high reaches of Mt. Rainier, or tackling the Valley of the Ten Peaks, the Men's Garmont Tower GTX Mountaineering Boot is the real deal."

"Awesome boots!! They were comfortable right out of the box, and even more so when I used molded inserts. I bought these boots the day prior to mountaineering in the Northern Cascades (thinking that there would be some leather mountaineering boots for rent available in my size, the day before."

"Great summer mountaineering boots. Super light, stiff enough for snow, climbs rock much better than most mountaineering boots, hikes pretty good. Crampon straps will be more uncomfortable on these boots than heavier designs."

"I put these boots through the ringer this summer (06) from day long slogs in rain and mud to all day glacier climbs. I have never had boots keep my feet dry like the Tower GTX. Other boots I've had with Gore-Tex liners eventually soak through and at the end of the day my feet are soaked."

These boots are the best I've ever worn. Light, incredibly sturdy and packed full of features that I'll never use in a million years!

This bargain price from a UK store TK Maxx -- seller of discount footware and designer clothes. They do get some bargains in, so if you're in for a pair of boots, please check them out! And NO, I don't work for them! A limited selection, but you can find some stunning products.
