Boots for Climbing

[Backpain]

Does anyone rate the new style of climbing boots? I'm talking about the Arbortec Scafell, Klima Air Zermatt, Stein Quests etc....which all look to be based around a 4 season mountain boot designed for crampons. Have they got riggid mid-soles? Are they worth the extra money or do you wish you'd stuck with your old boots?

Really comfatable and grippy. No chainsaw protection though so silky only.Wear really quickly on tarmac etc so strickly climbing only if you want them to last

I have the zermatts, most durable work boots I have ever had. Very rigid sole, great with spikes.

 

Btw all the boots mentioned in the op are chainsaw protective, what boots are you talking about Taff?

My bad. Not paying attension. Thought he was Taking bout the Arbpro boots not the Arbotech ones.

Don't discount the klima Tirol fighters
