I wanted a pair, but every review I read was not very good. I was in Chamonix at the Salomon store and had a chance to handle Kilian Jornet's high altitude mountaineering boot, it was similar in the boot inside a boot design, the outer boot having built in crampons. Totally a one off boot, but it was amazing to handle and seeing how light Salomon was able to create a high altitude boot for his fast ascents. Near the end, while Salomon had the boots still on their site, they couldn't give them away even at a huge discount. Even Salomon realized they weren't very good. I did this climb in 2017 in my Salomon X Alps. Same crampons, using their flex feature with those boots. I really miss being there, can't wait to get back.

It must feel so good to finally be allowed up there again and it looked so quiet too! So jealous, wish I could be out there right now :(

[@DaveSearle]

Soon hopefully! :-)

Back in the 80's there was a boot system similar to this. Onesport was the company that made them, and I believe that the model was called the Presles.

[@DaveSearle]

Interesting!

CONGRATS Mr. DAVE!!!!! Very Great!!!!! Chapeau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes.

[@DaveSearle]

Thank you!

Can I wear only alpine skin without sense 8 inside?

[@davidjgrant23]

Great video, thank you. Which crampons are those? Petzl?

[@DaveSearle]

Petzl Irvis hybrid.

[@davidjgrant23]

@@DaveSearle thank you 🙏 I’ve really been trying to see if the petzl aluminium leopard crampons fit these but can’t see a definitive answer anywhere. I’m guessing if it’s the same fastening system they should?

Seems cool, nice review on the go. Must have been strange, being on Gouter route alone!

[@DaveSearle]

So Strange to not see a single other person up there! Pretty cool!

[@fabricademostros7867]

hi, nice videos man, one question? sold separately or in one piece?

[@DaveSearle]

Hey. The run in shoe is sold separately but the boot only come with the shoe, not by itself.

[@willthornton4391]

Thanks for the review. I'm interested in these boots as I have Achilles Tendonitis so can't wear mountaineering boots. Do you think it's OK to do technical climbing sections in them with crampons on ?

[@DaveSearle]

I’d say these are very bad if you have Achilles problems actually. Better to have something bigger and stiffer. Try them out in a shop and you’ll see…

[@willthornton4391]

@@DaveSearle sorry what I meant is that the collar on normal boots digs into the back of my tendon and causes a lot of pain, so I'm resigned to wearing trainers/ shoes etc. I'm not looking for ankle/tendon support, just a shoe with an intigrated gaiter that's also compatible with crampons.

[@DaveSearle]

Might work but these boots do rub my Achilles quite badly. Worth trying them in the shop

[@giuliosalz]

Aren't the risers all twisted?

[@DaveSearle]

Yeah they were…harness was flipped. Only time I’ve ever done that!

[@arthurvth]

How is it for climbing ? I guess the overall size is bigger than a classic alpinism shoe and maybe you are less precise.

[@DaveSearle]

Not as precise as normal boots for sure.

[@arthurvth]

@@DaveSearle OK, thanks

[@gualdus]

Hola Dave. Que parapente llevabas,y cuánto pesa aproximadamente? Gracias,muy buenos tus vídeos👌🏻

[@DaveSearle]
