AMAZING

All year round boot, very comfy, great sole and B2 compatible. Used in a Spanish summer and still managed (no blisters). Variety of uses from hardcore scrambling to winter mountaineering and also suprisingly good edging. Got mine stupidly cheap.

Sore heel when I was breaking them in. Sole seems to be wearing out quite rapidly! Possibly due to amount I use them though! Leather has lost its finish with reproofing :(. Laces are a bit lame and fray rapidly.

The sore heels from breaking them in were worth it, absolutely bomber. Lovely fit and great sole. My favourite bit of kit.

GOOD WINTER/ALPINE/TREKKING ALL ROUNDERS

Balance of comfort and performance means I can walk long distance and climb alpine peaks.
They are a great boot for long alpine expeditions encompassing mixed ground incl river crossings, they don't soak up too much water so are not too wet before heading up to snowline.
Top quality leather hopefully means they last, already used on 60 days this year in Colorado, NZ Sthn Alps, Himalaya trek & climb, European Alpine peaks, Scottish winter walks.

Bootlaces: very difficult to feed through eyelets after they are worn. Fancy hooks make it longer to do up/undo laces and they often need re-tensioning after walking for an hour.
Some water got in walking thru boggy ground recently and are taking some time to dry, 2nd wear after re-proofing.

Excellent

BOMBPROOF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very tough, sturdy, good grips, good lace fastening setup, make your feet feel indestructable!!!

Don't try to run on a road in them, it hurts!!

Great boots, use them for mountaineering and walking, the Alps soon. Will definately be buying some more as I have absolutely trashed this pair and they are still going strong!!!

A bit gutted as the loop on heel pulled through recently, might chop that off on the next pair!!!!

Buy some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if they fit you obviously).

STURDY, NO FUSS, WATERPROOF, COMFORTABLE

Nearly no breaking in period and comfortable from the start. Was going to buyt some La Spor* Makalus but these just outclassed in terms of build and comfort. Stiff yet walkable on the flat

None I can think of yet.

Great boots and couldn't be happier. One of the bits of kit I own that inspire confidence and am chuffed to bits to own.
