ASCENT EVO GTX®

Used them on a via ferrata last weekend and the precision of the fit made every ledge feel secure, even with a heavy pack. I've owned a lot of mountain boots, but these are the first that feel like an extension of my foot rather than a separate piece of gear.

The fit is so precise that I barely noticed I was wearing them on a long, technical ridge scramble. The GTX kept my feet bone-dry through a surprise afternoon thunderstorm, which sealed the deal for me.

The fit is so precise right out of the box that I didn't even need to break them in before tackling a via ferrata route. They felt stable and secure on every ledge and cable section.
