Pros

Comfortable
- this boot was comfortable right out of the box
Warm
- for most climbers this boot will suffice in very cold probably under 6500-7000 meter conditions
Great traction
- I've used these boots for waterfall ice climbing and was very impressed with how well crampons fit, not to mention how well the boots climb 80-90 degree ice
- The boot sticks to rock and edges well up to a grade of about 5.5
Arch support
- the ankle is quite big and loose and does provide adequate foot or ankle support
Water resistant
- the boots keep your feet very dry, but the leather absorbs and retains water, then freezes at night
