Comfortable Right Away
Yes , I recommend this product
First fully stiff boot. Bought these a few weeks ago, have taken them out to the White Mountains a few times. Expected a break-in period, but they’ve been comfortable the whole time, no blisters. Only tricky thing is learning to tie them to avoid pressure points but also not loosen when on aggressive grading, laces are plenty long to accommodate many tricks. Strap on crampons fit well, planning to get autos now that I know the boots are great. Snowshoes also a great fit. Decent traction without any devices as well. One note is I ended up buying a half size down from usual, but could just be the sizing chart. Normally I’m a women’s 7, expected to go up a half size in fully stiff boots but too much heel lift. Still plenty of toe room for kicking and fits nicely, not too snug. Not an issue, just a note.
