Light, comfortable and a good stiff sole

Reviewed By Martyn, 27 Feb 2012

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

Reviewed By Sam, 18 Dec 2011

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!
