Scarpa Invernos. Beefy plastics with inner liners. fit is good, they can edge like crazy minus poonz. they're a bit heavy and don't like to be tied loose for walking, especially up snowy trails that are all polished from previous glissades, but on those same trails they'll kick steps forever, or until your legs start to ache from kicking.
haven't had them out in REAL cold stuff yet, only down to the 20s. I've climbed medium angle ramps and short vert W1-W2 with them. I've hiked up glissade-polished trails - "stairmasters" with them, they worked great.
if anyhting, they are a little tight over my ankle joint on the sides, and press my socks into the skin which gets uncomfortable after 4-5 hours of wearing. silk/nylon sock liners might fix that. I'll let you know...
damn, all this talk of ice and ice gear is getting me ALL fired up to swing a tool or two
they make my feet look dangerous ;-)
