Untitled ReviewPros:
- Very comfortable
- Warm enough for moderate snow and glacier travel
- Excellent quality leather
- Step-in crampon compatible
- Light-weight
Cons:
- Not a Vibram sole. Supplied Boreal sole is OK but not the best
- Included insoles are a joke. Make sure to get smth like SuperFeet right away!
- After getting soaked in water a couple of times, it will require additional water-proofing. Supplied water-proof spray is not even enough for a single treatment
As far as I know, Boreal is in the process of discontinuing this model. So if you like what you see, get it soon and on sale!
