I bought these boots to do a mountain climb in the Andes-Ausangate (21,000 ft) but because of conditions on the mountain we only made it to our base camp at 12,000. I bought them so I would only need one pair of boots for the three day approach and the technical part or the climb. These are the ones without the bootie inside. The boots were increadibly confortable on the three day approach (8 miles/day)in temperatures from 50-0 degrees F. (medieum snow) My feet never sweat and were never cold--not even first thing in the morning. No blisters/hot spots. I was even inclined to wear them around Cusco instead of a pair of light hiking boots, they felt so good. Because of the plastic bottoms they take step in crampons (Black Diamonds/Sabretooths fit very well) and wet conditions well.
