Gronell Overtops.

The reason I'm asking is more specifically about the durability. I probably wont be using them for mountaineering any time soon, but rather treeplanting in northern British Columbia. I'm wondering how they comapre to La Sporiva Glaciers and Scarpa Liskamm GTXs, both of which I have used. Treeplanting is incredibly hard on boots, with lots of kicking at the ground and shovel. I have found that mountaineering boots are by far the best option of this kind of work, being incredibly comfortable, yet stiff enough to carry heavy loads, and climb steep grades, while being durable enough to last. My la sportivas blew up around the upper stitching after about 110 days of planting, and so far my Scarpas are holding up fine (about 30 days in). The Gronell boots I now have are not the classic old school boots, but rather a newer style more akin to my scarpas. I will post a photo.

I'm just wondering if anybody here has any experience using gronell mountaineering boots. I just picked up a pair over in Italy, and have never seen them over here.
