Average Boots
Pros: Durable
Cons: Hard to lace, Difficult in & out
Other Thoughts: I got these boots mainly because of the great price. I didn't want to rent stinky rental boots anymore, so I wasn't too picky with what I wanted, price was the mian factor. The "speed lacing" is a bit stiff, so it would take some effort to pull hard enough to actually tighten the laces (would ask for help from my bf most of the time). Even when the laces are at their tightest, the tongue of the boots would be far from flushed against my shin.
Also, not sure if it's just my feet, but the right boot would feel like it's pinching my big toe after a while, and the left boot chafed my inside ankle. I wore thin wool boarding socks and made sure my long underwear was flush and not bunched up anywhere.
I upgraded my boots to the DC Boa Moras (bought them 50% off). So I would recommend spending a few extra bucks for better boots than settle for these.
