    John Willard's review

    This is a good "first boot" option that doesn't break the bank. It's a good all-around single boot that gets the job done!

    Dan Morley, Rock Climbing Guide

    Solid ice climbing boots at a reasonable price. There are fancier and more expensive boots out there but these will get the job done and keep your feet warm. I've owned two pairs of these and they both fit great right out of the box.
