What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Tried different soft or medium firm boots, but there is no comparison to this extra firm boot.
Tested it in -20 degrees celsius and 1 meter snow and also used the crampons on the frozen side of the mountain.
All was a bit more that I have been used to, but after 7 hours of trkking in these conditions my feet were warm and dry, and also my legs had all the support they needed.
I really made a great decision.

Hello Brendan,
For Mont Blanc, these boots should work well, as they provide good insulation and support for mixed terrain. However, for Elbrus, opinions vary, as people prefer double layer boots there as it can be cold in the mornings and colder months.
Hi I would like to buy these boots.
I'm a size 11 UK.
Would I want to go up a size or keep it at size 11?
Hi Adrian,thanks, for getting back to me.
I'm going to the himalayas at the end of March for a month of trekking and some climbing.
My old boots were stolen last week so I have to buy a new pair.
I'm sure these boots would be perfect for the himalayas.
My itinerary is mera peak,island peak, goyoko ri Trek, and Everest base camp.
Do yiu think those boots would be okay for that trek?
Many thanks

Hi Paul, I'd say that these will not fit the bill. They'll be too stiff for trekking and not well enough insulated for those over 6,000m peaks. A regular trekking boot will see you through for most of your trip but for the higher peaks you'll be needing something like the Scarpa Phantom 6000.
Hi Oana, Yes but only if they fit and the only way to know that will be to try on. Thw sidth and volume in this model may be a little too much if you have a very slim foot and if that is the case something women's specfic like the following would be a better choice:

I've had these boots for over 15 years and they are still going strong. They give great support and keep you warm and dry in just about any conditions.
