The greatness with these boots is that while they have a full metal shank, they also have a bit of "rocker" built in. So that means it's not like walking on a pair of ski-boo…

These boots are designed for very cold weather, high altitude climbing. I got them to use on Denali and, hopefully, Everest. They're expensive, but so are frostbitten toes,…

You would think that these boots are leather or MOOSEJAW hide; however they are plastic. They climb extremely well for a plastic boot with a good range of flexibility and feel…

Keep a still upper lip because these are some stiff lower boots. Not quite as bad on the knees as plastic mountaineering boots, but you won't be striding out on level ground…
