I've a pair of Salomon Super Mountain 9s for sale, size 9, if anyone is interested.

Moved onto these which are brilliant and have hardly been off my feet for the last three weeks.

stuartie_c: Nice boot.

Cant go wrong with Scarpa although they can be a bit on the narrow side.

I've got a pair of Mescalito's for summer fun.... best boot I've ever bought.Still going strong after 10 years!

Stuartie c, I just got pair of those to replace my old salomons !

Real nice boot, just got back from a good 200m grade 2 gully, knackered, and I also managed to put a crampon point in one boot ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Rachel: I was fed up of getting cold feet, so put these on for a bumble around some local trails.... found my feet were proper warm, and surprisingly they gripped the pedals amazingly well.

Took them on a proper outing this afternoon and they were ace.
Felt in so much more control on some very steep and long sections....

I know they should't be, but they were.... ???
