By zolek from Palmdale, CA on 11/06/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Cons: Difficult Laces, Heavy Describe Yourself: Casual/Recreational Sizing: Feels full size too small, Feels too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Those are heavy, but extremely durable boots. Work great with step-in crampons and are very warm. The only problem is sizing. I am 11 1/2 for most of the footwear, wear shoes from 11-12, depending on the manufacturer. First ordered these in 11 1/5 (12 1/2 US), when I tried them on they were too tight. Exchanged them for 12 (13US) and they fit quite well with a heavy weight wool sock, would be nice to have some extra space for a second sock, but I will most likely purchase high altitude liner if I will decide to climb Denali. Try them on first in your local retailer and then order them here. STP has a great exchange policy and instant credit is the smartest thing ever!

Like a truck for your foot By Road warrior from San Diego,CA on 04/12/2009 Pros: Ankle Support, Comfortable/No Break-In, Sturdy/Durable, Warm, Water Resistant Best Uses: Cold Weather, Heavy Loads, Wet Conditions Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I just used my boots for the first time. Perfect boot for cold weather glacier travel, steep ice and mixed climbing. My feet were warm and comfortable the whole time. The only down side is that these boots have no traction at all on wet or frozen rock if your not wearing crampons. Over all, a very nice boot.

By steph from central mass on 04/06/2009 Best Uses: Cold Weather, Kick stepping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels full size too small, Feels too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These boots run small. I normally take a mens 7 maybe 7 1/2. I bought these in an 8 hoping that they would run small or I could add an insole to add girth. I was amazed that they fit perfectly! I have heard nothing but good things from my mountaineering companions who wear these boots. My asolo inner boots are starting to wear in the heel, time for another boot, glad these were here at such a great buy.

They are also available with a high altitude for even more warmth.
