Untitled ReviewThey are very comfortable, warm and climb well on rock. They take mixed crampons (one more reason to by the Grivel G-14 Newmatic I had my eyes on).
Only worry is I heard from another user the rubber rand peeled off his boots. Mine are still ok after one year of use but I see some small cracks on the rubber. If they are still small next year I'll give them five stars!!
EDIT: I replaced the insoles with Sorbothane insoles and they feel great!
