Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Materials: Leather
Use: Heavy backpacking/Mountaineering
Break-in Period: 5-10 miles
Weight: 4lbs. 5ozs.
Price Paid: $250?

Fabulous boot. I found the warnings about a long break-in period to be overdone. I wore the boots for two little walks around my neighborhood (maybe 3 miles in total) and then hiked the avalanche gulch route of Mt. Shasta. No blisters, no hot shots, perfect performance. Perfect for moderate mountaineering. They are crampon compatible and fairly light-weight for a heavy-duty boot, and the leather never (at least on my Shasta hike) gets wet.
