Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Scarpa Men's Charmoz GTX Mountaineering Boots excel on varied alpine terrain where a pitch of snow is followed by a pitch of rock which precedes two pitches of ice. Waterproof breathable Gore-Tex inserts keep your feet dry as you posthole to the base of your route. The -length shanks allow comfortable walking on the approach hike. Vibram Mulaz soles give the Charmoz GTX Boots great traction on both snow and the techy rock climbing that gets you up the first few hundred feet. Strap a pair of Newmatic (semi-automatic) crampons to these Scarpa boots, and their rigid soles and flexible uppers give you the support and precision you need for grade 5 ice and hard mixed climbing."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Scarpa Charmoz GTX weighs in at just over 3 pounds per pair making it one of the lightest alpine boots available. A free moving boot designed for mixed climbing, big walls and alpine ascents, it performs well on any medium and it's fully waterproof! Scarpa Charmoz Features: The synthetic L-Tech upper is Lorica® reinforced and completely waterproof A Gore-Tex® lining is assurance that no moisture will penetrate The articulated ankle system offers excellent freedom of movement and out-of-the-box comfort The Pro-Fiber midsole has a Micro PU reinforced heel for toe-strap crampons Its smooth toe-block Vibram® sole and high rubber rand provide rock shoe-like performance Made in Italy"

"I bought these boots for a forthcoming Haute Route treck. They were light and I felt I could move quickly with them but the first encounter with wet conditions proved they were not waterproof at all. As can be imagined I was completely disappointed when they were returned to the shop, but I did receive a full refund."

Reviewed by Henry Smith, Jun 06, 2007

"I bought this boot to tackle some classic routes in the Alps. It was ideal for rock routes such as the Dent du Geant and excelled when taken up Mont Blanc, as it is so light but still packs a lot of warmth. Very comfortable and brilliant for all but advanced alpine climbing."
