Bought these boots for alpine trekking, but did not use them in hard conditions yet - but few winter trails through snowy paths left very good impression. Comfortable, stabile and reliable on slippery surface. Finally the one who beats my 10-years-old hand sewed heavy leather shoes ??
Price Paid: $230
