These boots are really good - they just don't quite fit me. They have a sole stiff enough for edging or taking crampons (I used G10s and they worked well), and an aggressively lugged sole with stiff sections at the toe for climbing. The rubber is very sticky, not Stealth, but very much like climbing rubber. I wish they'd worked out, but I bought them a little too small (I wear between 8.5 and 9), and got toe-bang. I'd keep them for climbing-oriented approach shoes, except I have Guide Tennies already.

They look pretty much brand-new. I wore them on one trip up Adams and one two-day trip of about 20 miles in the Glacier Peak Wilderness. They've seen as much snow as dirt, and essentially no rock at all. If you're interested I'll shoot some nice high-res photos for you.

Here's what they look like:



The cheapest I could find new online is $130, they are usually $150. I'll sell mine for $75 shipped.
