These are the most comfortable boots I've owned. I've had La Sportiva, Rachelie and Zamberlain and nothing has come close. I've used them several times already and no blisters yet.

The ankle flexibility is great and they have a wide toe box, perfect for my D width size 12s. They are the lightest full shank boot I've used and they are quite warm. I haven't had them out in -20 C weather yet but they feel as warm as anything I've used.

The plastic tongue inserts are amazing when you finally get them in. They can be a bit of a bother on the side of a hill and they are not comfortable to leave in all the time. The boots are fully functional without the inserts. I've led Alberta Grade 4 without the inserts and they are great.

I love these boots!
