ASCENT GTX®

Took these up a via ferrata last weekend and the stiffness underfoot made edging on the metal rungs feel way more secure than my old pair. The semi-cramponable sole is a nice bonus for when I eventually get into alpine stuff.

Finally, a boot that comes in a true 36 — snug around the heel but not cramped. The semi-cramponable sole handled rocky mixed sections with real grip, and they felt secure straight out of the box.

Took these up a via ferrata last weekend and the stiffness underfoot made edging on the iron rungs feel secure the whole way. Semi-cramponable too, so I can keep using them once the snow starts. My feet stayed dry through a wet, rocky descent.
