Comfortable B2 all-rounder boot
Having already bought the B3 version of the Karakoram (which I found a tad heavy), this HC GTX is definately the boot for my scottish winter and alpine / Mont Blanc adventures. I find them very comfortable and quite roomy for my wide forefoot, and can take my Sidas insole with ease. When walking there is a nice progression from heel strike to forefoot push-off with no slapping. My Petzel Vasak crampons fits very well to the grippy vibram sole. The traditional design of the boot with the high sides means maximum support when negotiating rough mixed terrain away from the path. At last, the complete all-rounder!
