I had this shoe for several years. They're a well built shoe, but they have some cons: the rear part of the sole is quite thin, resulting in a wobbly, unstable step. Other shoes have wider rear part (sole). The ankle of the boot is also unstable, however much you tighten the laces. So together with the sole they can result in unstable steps and you can easily make a misstep and turn your ankle! Also, they are quite heavy and bulky on the upper part, so for thinner ladies / or thinner footed people this is probably not the best shoe choice - as there is no women's version unfortunately. I sold it in the end.
The pros that it was warm in heavy winter mountaineering too and did not cause any blisters.
