"I usually use the boots once every couple of years. I was climbing Cotopaxi last week, and at 16,000 ft. one of the boots cracked in half, so instead of going for the summit I had to end my climb and head down. By the time I got to the parking lot both boots were cracked."

"I bought them used off ebay. Functionally great; I've used them for snowshoeing, ice climbing, and hiking. I'd give them 5 stars if they were warm. I used to throw one of those hand warmer packets into the toe of each boot, but then I bought custom fit Intuition Denali liners for $150 and now my feet are toasty even on ice. More comfortable too."

"I got these boots 4 years ago and they were, from the get go, the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. They work well on steep ice or hiking on dirt trails. I have used them from trips to Ranier, Baker, Adams, Hood, to full conditions on Mt. Washington in New Hamshire."

"I had a tough choice between a nine and a half (my street shoe size usually) and a ten and a half (USA sizes). . . .

I found the 'rocker' on the nine and a half to be perfect but that my toes bumped the front of the boot and I had only a light sock on."

Reviewed by kwade@..., Mar 04, 1997

"They are the perfect boots for someone who wants the warmth of a plastic ice boot, and the control of a leather boot.

I have used them on verticle waterfall ice and on mixed routes, and they kick butt. They are warm and tough, but not at all bulky.

They have a very low profile, and fit nice and snug. Walking in them is better then other boots I have worn."
