ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!
Comfortable out the box!!(very impressive in such a stiff soled and supportive boot.) 360 ankle rotation. Light enough so as it doesn't knacker you out. Heavy enough to kick steps. Good agressive sole, with good edges and shock absorbance. Water proof. Great fit for my foot! Will take a crampon easily and is stiff soled enough to cope with most winter terrain whilst still remaining usable in summer (if a little warm)! Grivel G12s work great with them! Not too pricey!
Still quite heavy compared to other B2 boots. Havn't used the GSB system but reports suggest that although great once on, getting the plastic chip out the boot is sometimes an issue, and that the hole for the GSB will get crammed with dirt making crampon fitting virtually impossible, unless the plug is in and secure. They still work great with other crampons so it isnt really an issue! These boots really are great!
