Excellent boots for snowshoeing and general traversing w/ crampons in cold weather. Koflach's new plastic is very maleable & the ankle, so that your feet don't even realize that they're in plastic boots when snowshoes or crampons are strapped on (fixed Sabertooth crampons fit nicely). Your feet are not too happy however when you decide to bareboot it for long distances. But that is a gen'l complaint about plastic...
