I have a real hard time finding a size 12.5 boot. Not only do these come in 12.5 but they fit perfectly. I get no hot-spots and they already feel broken-in! I had originally purchased the Thunder GTX but needed more stability so got these instead. Good decision on my part!
I like a lot of boot but I get chaffed (literally) when the boot is too stiff. In the past I have always had to go with a stiff upper to get the bottom package that I need for big days or aggressive terrain. This boot is the perfect combination of what i have been looking for. A soft supple upper that flexes well but the sole that is stiff and tough enough to withstand my abuse!
