i love these boots! they really do it all, no wonder the american alpine inst. gave them a guides choice.

after having all kinds of problems with my asolo globalines, i decided to replace them with a real boot, i can tell that i will have this pair for a long, long time. my only wish is that they had a pulley laceing system like the globalines (that was the only thing that worked well on that boot, but that is another story.) i cant wait to get them on ice next year!
