Purpose built awesomeness. I bought this boot as part of my kit for a Nepal trip. Right out of the box I was pleased with the construction. Break-in requirements were minimal and took about 15km of use on mixed terrain (talus, snow, rock). I felt that these boots were more secure in fit than any Koflach models I have tried, though they are significantly more stable. These boots come into their own when you put on snowshoes or other aids.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Asolo makes awesome boots. Esecially the 520 GTX for day hikes.

Warm and comfortable - I got these boots the day before climbing Quandary Peak (14265') in Colorado during mid-February. When we reached the summit there were 25mph winds and whiteout conditions, I actually got 'frost-nip' on my cheek and nose. The weather report said -20F wind chill, but I think it was colder. My feet stayed warm and comfortable the entire time. I was hesitant to break them in on a 14er, but when I got back to the car, my feet felt great. If you're sure that you want a rigid plastic boot, these are amazing.

Boots for winter / cold conditions mountaineering - These boots are worm. Really worm. I had two short trips and in both cases they performed as expected. The first time I did not wear gaiters and climbed few hundred feet thru spots of a knee deep snow. When I took off boots at the car they each had a lot of snow, ice and melted water inside the shell (not in the inner boot) and my feet were dry and hot! The second time I hiked on Mt Rainier in temp below freezing and 50-mph winds at 10k ft elevation - my feet were so hot almost on the verge of comfort zone. These boots perfectly edge. On my both trips I climbed short pitches of 40 degree mixed snow/ice/rock and never slid. I am quite happy with them except that they stress ankles a little bit while hiking steep slopes. I think any kind of stiff boots designed for front-pointing would have this problem.
