Recommend? yes | Price paid: Not Indicated

Pros:	light, flexible, good on approach, climbs very nicely
Cons:	hard to get on and off, pinched my wide foot

A very precise boot, nice on the approach
but not as warm as other models, NOTE improvements
have been made to this boot since I purchased 4-5yrs ago. The toe box on my boot did not fit my
wide foot and I eventually paid the price for that discomfort. I added inserts to beef up the insulation. Another drawback was the shoeller gaiter sleeve, Difficult to get on, like putting on a sock, but once it's on, It was like part of my leg. Overall I had a great experience, I hear the toebox is wider on subsequent releases.
