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. My feet have never been anything other than warm and dry. My foot fangs do not compress the boot in anyway and they hold true to their form. A great boot at a great price!
