Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Materials: leather
Use: hiking, light mountaineering
Weight: heavy
Price Paid: $300 CAD

This boot appeared to me to have excellent potential. After wearing it for awhile however, I noticed that my toes kept making contact with the front of the boot. This makes it impossible to use for digging snow-steps, hiking downhill, or anything really.

I was disappointed with this boot because it appeared to have everything I was looking for: stiff support, suitable for mild mountaineering and aggressive hiking with a heavy pack. However the fit of the boot just made it unusable.

Also, it tends to get really wet in wet climates, probably better for dryer climates.

Overall, I was fairly disappointed with this product. For some people, this boot is gonna stink due to the fit.
