| tootufftony1975 | My first mountaineering boots | | 
Hasn't voted | I am just getting into mountaineering. So there will probably be more technical reviews out there, but I have been hiking with these out in the snow and ice. They are listed as not waterproof, but I have put two coats of Sno-Seal on them and have not felt an ounce of water. They are not insulated, but I have been using Columbia Expedition socks, 75% Merino Wool 24% Lycra and 1% Spandex, and I have not felt the cold at all. I have been hiking in quite a bit of snow for the last few days and these have a great bite when kicking into the fresh snow to get to better footing. I really like the two-piece tongue. I have pretty thick feet and adjusting this really helped me fit them really good. If anyone out there has more info, having used them for serious mountaineering, please put up a review. I would love to know if I chose a good boot to get started with. | | Posted Jan 20, 2008 6:05 am |
