Light, comfortable and a good stiff sole

I bought these in rock bottom as a returned product. Lets start from the bottom -

The sole is Vibram - a brand which speaks for itself. It is quite stiff, hence the B1 rating, but I have seen it rated as B1/B2, B1.5 and B2. The truth is it is a good stiff sole, with a noticeable flex at the toe. Either side of the bend though it is quite solid - good for balancing on the arch or kicking in with the toe. In terms of crampon compatibility it has a lip at the back (not sure why the picture shows a new classic style crampon?) so it can take grivel new-matic clips at the back. I have the boots in size 47, which dont fit the G10, G12 or air-tech, but do fit Black Diamond crampons without the need for an extension. I'm looking at the BD Seracs for these.

The standard insole is quite hard, but not uncomfortable. I have medium to wide feet, and this boot was very comfortable around the foot. The laces don't however pull through the eyes particularly smoothly, so a progressive lace up is needed.

The boots are also very light, and in a UK climate very warm. I'm yet to use them in the snow but I'll update when I do. From reading elsewhere it might be a case of wearing nice thick socks!

Comfy, warm and confidence boosting

Excellent crampon compatible boot. Used yesterday to do approx 9miles of snow covered Coniston fells. Absolutely faultless! Kept my feet toasty all day and boosted my confidence when ascending steep snowy slopes. When descending I also felt far more sure footed than ever before. I can definitely recommend the Preston store for their expertise and time spent getting me the perfect fit. Thanks!

best boots on the market, worth every penny

A durable boot made to last ! It's dead easy to get a good fit with this model and i found them to be comfortable right out the box which was a nice suprise, there is plenty of room in the toe area so they don't feel squashed or cramped (which is rare if you have wide feet like me). My toes have always toasty,even in -18. I don't get any heel slip with these boots and i found the stiff sole to make precision and edging a lot easier. The tongue is removable allowing room for thick socks. The lacing locking system is snag free, effective and easy to use with a gloved hand, the ONLY downside i have found is that because they are made of leather they have a habbit of freezing overnight, although I recommend you to wear VBL's and gaiters to minimise moisture (which in my experience works well)
