In my opinion
Four days in the North Cascades, WA. ,I put these new boots through the works. I wore them to work for a few weeks prior, but I don’t believe they needed it. From miles of trail approach to more miles of loose granite talus, steep mud, snow, ice, and rock! Ending result: no blisters, no soreness, excellent friction on rock, light, flexible, breathable, waterproof, felt great in crampons, fit well on my narrow feet. I think this boot is a good rival for La Sportiva's Trango. A little heavier, but a littler tougher I think.
