FYI.... this boot rocks. I and a climbing partner used them on Denali. While I missed out on the summit, he took them to the summit with no cold injuries. I did get cold toes in camp a few times, but I believe that's less to do with the boots and more to do with not warming my feet correctly in my sleeping bag when getting up in the morning. These are very good technical boots too - if a bit flexible. I climbed for 9 days in Ouray on them last year - they were great as far as the feel on the ice. However, what I found was that they were flexible enough that I had to tighten laces every four hours to keep them comfortable on ice.

 

These have become my primary mountaineering boot. The liner is flat awesome - you can get them fitted (I got them fitted in Bellevue at Sturtevants). They take a good beating by a boot fitter, get custom footbeds and the heat moldable liner has never left me with water in the boot from sweat. I've climbed Rainier twice in them, Baker on a horrible day and been to 16,500 on Denali with them. They climb awesome.

 

Besides, Dane is a fan (especially of the boot liner):

I agree, CaleHoopes. I would have loved to have climbed in these boots, but unfortunately due to my specific foot/heel shape, I just couldn't get the fit right for my foot so that's why I'm selling these boots. I have the hardest time fitting boots in general, but really wish that I could have made these work. I love the overall design of these boots and love the traditional lacing with bombproof eyelets. Another friend of mine has these boots and absolutely loves them. I'm sure whomever gets these boots won't be disappointed. They're warm, durable and the liners are one of the best in the industry.

 

Please pass along this posting to anyone that may be interested. Thanks for looking!

 

Thanks,

Jeff
