Price Paid: do not remember cheap

I have considerably wide feet, but it did not cause any harm or hot-spots. Boot was quite comfortable, but I had to sell it because of freezing feet unfortunately boots came up to be at least half of number too small and with crampions it did get cold even at low altitudes 4000 m. Nice boot for Alps but I dont belive it works higher, also boot hight is somewher between high and medium. dear to reccommend for nice trips where you need stable and comfortable walking boot.
