From REI:
"From the Brooks Range to Colorado's 14ers, the Scarpa Inverno mountaineering boots provide high-performance support at a competitive price. Removable, lace-up liners feature durable Cordura nylon shells, comfortable foam footbeds and an insulating brushed lining. Rigid and durable Pebax plastic shells are completely waterproof and maintain flexibility in extreme cold. Hinged ankles and tongues made of soft plastic allow ankle flexibility; hard plastic uppers ensure support. Rustproof, riveted hardware secures lacing; full rubber randing enhances edging ability and abrasion resistance. EVA midsoles add critical cushioning and insulation. Vibram Stabeler outsoles offer excellent grip, stability and durability. Aggressively rockered soles balance the boots' stiffness and allow a normal gait during approach. Boots are compatible with step-in crampons."

"I have had my Invernos for several years and I love them. My only complaint is the tongues of the liners finally broke down and the lace rivet rubbed on my shins and caused me a bit of pain. Most likely from using the boot snowboarding and putting too much forward pressure on the tongues."

"Very comfortable, like slippers in fact. And climb about the same. Easily the least climbable plastic boot I've owned. I've also been through a pair of Koflach Ultras and Asolo 101s, both climbed better than the Invernos."

"I have worn these boots on twelve ice trips to Smugglers' Notch, Vermont. They are both very warm, and very comfortable. For long walk-in's keep the upper laces untied. They fit perfectly with BD makos, plus the black color will help absorb some heat from the sun."

"These boots are quite comfortable for my wide feet and flat arches, but for long, level, approaches, I opt to put them on top of the pack and use approach shoes! The boots are quite warm, even in cold conditions (below freezing) with the regular liners."

Reviewed by Matthew, Jan 01, 1999

"These boots kick ass for cold and snowy conditions. They are also rigid for vertical ice. They are comfy and feel very durable. Since my left foot is at least . 5 size larger than my right foot, I have to stuff the right boots with more socks, an extra insole, but seems to keep my heel better in place."

"I was hoping that I could get out in some plastic boots for less but after looking around. . . . . . . These boots are well worth the money that you pay. They are pretty plush right out of the box. The only problem (small) is that I have a narrow heal and am having to work with a shim system to keep my heal where I want it."

"I have used about every type of plastic boot there is and this is by for the best do-all boot there is. It fronts points as good as any if not better, the rocker sole keeps shin bang at a minimum on the trail, and they hold on to crampons like glue."

"I've only used these for a few trips this winter. Here's my observerations:

o they are heavy compared to leather boots, or at least they sure feel that way. The two boots together probably weight in at about 10lbs. It can get pretty tiring, espcially when you add snowshoes!

o they are very warm

o they do take a bit of getting used to, walking on bare ground or only a few inches of snow changes your gait

o they provide plenty of ankle support

o these boots are the widest plastic boots I could find, they fit my foot, a narrow heel, wide forefoot, size 13

o they do all plastic boot things well, so far as I've noticed

o they have a neat system with a gasket instead of a bellows for closing the tounge."

"I have worn my Invernos vertical ice climbing and on expeditions above 21,000 feet. I love them. They fit American feet better than most boots. One favorite feature is the large degree of rocker, or curvature, of the sole. This makes the Inverno far more comfortable for hiking without crampons."

"After trying the Asolo (both home and on the mountain) I bought the Scarpa Inverno instead. These boots are heavy (like all plastic boots) but if you get a good fit, these are the "sneakers" of serious mountaneering boots. Had a chance to try them out hard on Mount Rainier in both blistering sun and cold wet slush."

"I tried several plastic boots, and these were the only ones that fit comfortably. I wore them about 10 times on day trips this past winter, carrying as much as 35 - 40 lbs. My feet stayed warm, dry and comforable.

These boots have a gasketed tongue rather than the bellows version found on many plastic and leather boots."
