I’ve only taken these boots ou once but they were amazing in knee deep snowshoeing. Over 6hrs and not a single drop and my feet were very warm. Used Petzl crampons with them also and they worked amazingly well. I’m usually a size 13 US and ordered the same in this boot and it was perfect. No break in time really and felt great from the get-go. Great mountaineering boot for any price. I will attempt Mont Blanc, Elbrus, Matterhorn, and more in these.

I love these boots - they're my go to for shoulder season backpacking and summer mountaineering here in the Pacific Northwest. They have just enough flex to be comfortable on long approaches, and stiff enough to kick-steps through scree & snow. The boots fit true to size, with a marginally wider toebox (more akin to Scarpa than La Sportiva).

True GTX boots!

I've put it through the wringer

I picked up a set of these before our trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. I had planned to wear them to break them in before the trip. The first time I truly wore them was on our first hike took us through multiple creek beds. If it's more comfortable and I truly get my feet dry. I would highly recommend these boots to anyone else.

so far so good

The boots feel really solid/waterproof. So far I've only trudged though the forest a few times in snow without any issues at all. Very happy. Toe box is narrow so be aware if you have a wide foot. I sized up half a size and they were perfect

Superbe qualité

Bottes de très belles qualité, semble solide (pas assez utilisé pour le dire). Languette matelassée très confortable. Très belle couleur Je fais du 12 US normalement et j'ai pris du 12.5 et c'est parfait

Warm Boots

This is an amazing pair of boots. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is that a bit more cushion is needed in the sole. I recently wore these boots while ice fishing and hiking in ankle deep snow for a week. Had no issues with my feet getting wet or cold.

Great feel

I've have 5 short hikes to date in these boots. Initial impression was the boots are a bit snug even going up a half size. With a good hiking sock there was room for my toes but felt tight across my foot. By hike 4 I've adjusted to the feeling and I'm glad I choose the size I did. These boots can accommodate a wide foot but would not recommend for an extra wide foot. Laces seem to slip a bit if not double knotted. I've not tested in any extreme temps yet, so far 25-60F they're been great. Grip is perfect so my uses so far. Plenty of support and the color combinations are fun. I've been a Marine fan for some time, these match well with the other Mammut products.

Great 3 season boot

Used heavily on dry glaciers and rock! Performs well, pretty narrow to box, but the my best fit. Would be great for late season conditions in the cascades or in the rocky mountains during the summer. Solid water proofing, maybe use gaiter if you are marching all on snow!

Solid 3.5 season mountaineering boot

Wore it on one expedition into Swiss Alps had various conditions work them in fro snow shoe, crampon and boot punch through 2-3ft slushy wet snow held up great waterproofing solid and laces didn't get loose once while wearing gaiters. Some sore pinky toe spots and very marginal heel lift wearing light weight hiking socks. Overall solid boot. Only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is cant tell about durability with just one multi day trip.

These are very comfortable for alpine boots. I've taken them out on a long day hike to break them in and I didn't have any blisters at all. Looking for to wearing them into alpine terrain.
