This is a very warm single boot mountaineering piece of gear ideal for technical ice, alpine or cold weather alpine climbing and mountaineering. These have many more great season left in them however they’re simply too big for my foot. There is a small crampon Knick in one of the boots that was repaired/sealed with gorilla glue and works perfectly fine. These are very solid with keeping your feet dry and even more so with additional waterproofing with nikwax.
