User Review: Koflach Viva Soft

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Materials: Plastic
Use: Glacier/winter climbing
Break-in Period: None (if they fit)
Weight: ?4 lb.
Price Paid: $190 (at recent sale)

I have wide feet, and was told these ran narrow, and I knew I would use a heavier sock than for summer climbing - so I got two sizes bigger than my regular shoe, and in my case they fit very well on first use. Used them on Mt. Rainier, and in much colder weather in the Catskills - warm feet.

On the other hand, they are not supposed to be used for really cold weather, and a number of people I've communicated with relay serious complaints about fitting. If they don't fit right in the store, don't buy them because they won't change much. But at a recently advertised price of $190 or so (I paid $275 last year) you should try them on if you are in the market for an entry level plastic boot.
