"These are great boots. Mine also did not require a painful break-in period. Comfortable from the beginning. Very warm. Insulated / Gore-tex. Too warm for spring snow climbing, when I go back to my old Galibier Super Guides. I spoke with La Sportiva customer service before purchase, and they said this was just as warm as the Nepal Extreme. What a great deal!"

Reviewed by Cappstone, Dec 27, 2006

I wore these right out of the box. . . the ultimate no-no in hiking/mountaineering, I know. I had absolutely NO problems, issues, hot spots, etc. It's hard to provide a review on footwear, just because what works great for one might be disastrous for another, but I will continue to endorse La Sportiva, even though they're still not paying me to do so!!

My feet are narrow, low-volume, so bear that in mind if you're considering these boots.
