This is a very lightweight boot which is crampon compatible because of its little flex. For me this model is neither fish nor fowl, because it is far too cold for use on ice and definitely not waterproof - after walking half an hour in wet grass my feet were totally soaked, even though I had sprayed the boots with Nikwax - and for long treks they are too uncomfortable. What they are good at is climbing in moderately difficult terrain; there they allow very precise steps. But if there is a long approach I will not use these boots again, because they make your soles burn when you have to go downhill after the climb due to the limited shock absorbing capability, I guess.
