Great Boot
After 30 years of climbing and hiking as diabetic my feet just cant take the big,hot,stiff mountaineering boots anymore. I am glad to have these puppys in my closet because due to their comfort and lightness i will continue to climb for many more years!

Unbelievable.
Back in 1991 I bought a pair of Makalus, and used them on a nice little snow climb in the Olympic Mountains. Although I came to love those boots, they turned my heels to hamburger. Two weeks ago I bought the red Trangos and did the same climb, right out of the box. Not even a hot spot. The felt like trail runners on the trail, and after kicking steps in hard snow for 3000 feet, they still felt like trail runners. They do everything the Makalus did, but weigh more than a pound less on each foot. The red is a little ostentatious, but my feet feel so good I just don't care.

Great boots, comfortable, no break in required
Have used these boots for rough trail hiking and snow. Performed great on 2800 ft descent into the Black Canyon. Added a pair of Camp light weight aluminum crampons for spring snow climbs.

Awsome boots!
I used these boots to climb Mt Holy Cross in Colorado. After VERY little break in I lived in the boots for three days. Constant rain and temps in the 20 to 40 degree range. My feet stayed warm and dry. Traction on the wet rocks was amazing. Very comfortable although I did get one small blister on one heel. But for boots pretty much right out of the box that's and 25 miles of wet hiking and climbing that's pretty good. And did I mention they are as light as running shoes? And Altrec's price is $50.00 less than everyone else's! They run a bit small.

Great for just about everthing
I bought a pair of these boots about a year ago. The boots are very comfortable and the hinged ankle is great. They are very supportive and are compatable with grivel crampons g12 and g14's, newmatic. These boots will be able to do everything for 3 season climbing. Very well made. 5 Star boot.
