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,…

I saw two guys break the lace up system on Denali last summer. Both had pretty bad shin and toe bang at the end of the ordeal as well. Once you fart around with intuition l…

I have been backpacking since 1975 and found the perfect boot for me 15 years ago, the Asolo 535. I then migrated to the Asolo 520 and Powermatic. I regret ever trending awa…

I did a 14-miler in them pretty much straight out of the box- couldn't be happier. There are a little on the heavy side, but otherwise like hiking on clouds. I found them to…

These boots are constructed really well... the materials are great and they seem to be holding together nicely! Only problem: the full-grain leather is more stiff than I like,…

These boots worked well, I ended up having tot go a full size down on these boots, only a half size bigger than my climbing shoe. This could just be how my foot works, but non…

The fit is true to size, and they conform well to my feet. As long as our feet are about the same shape you won't have any problems. The day I got these I took a not-so-quick…
