Summary:
I used these for the first time mountaineering (crampons and snow shoes) in the White Mountains (N.H.) last year. They were rentals. I had heard horror stories about plastic mountaineering boots so I was a little nervous. Needless to say, I ended up buying a pair this past fall. They are good boots for mountaineering more than ice climbing. They require little breakin and are a good first boot for people buying plastic mountaineering boots for the first time.

Summary:
These are the worst mountaineering boots ever made. They have a sloppy fit and are poorly designed (the lace grommets popped off a brand new pair).

Due to these boots, I had to turn around from Mt. Rainier. The boots rubbed blisters galore and shin banged horribly no matter how loose the tops were while walking. If you want to purchase sloppy workmaship and bargan basement boots these are the ones.

Customer Service:
Got a refund on the boots.

Summary:
These boots are certainly not the best choice on the market. Next to a pair of Scarpas, the build quality is obviously missing. They are just slightly flimsy and cheaply made in comparison. For example, if you look inside the plastic shell you can see the board is just stapled haphazardly to the midsole and that there is no anatomical shaping to hold the heel down (as is found in Scarpa Vegas). This latter point was particularly telling as after only a week of use the boots have packed out to a very sloppy fit.

Customer Service:
Well, it's a bit hard to comment on customer service as Koflach don't even bother listing an email address on their website!
