Rated to minus forty. The boot for the walk from the car to the chalet, not the mountain.
4.7 out of 5
Essentially unchanged since 1972 because it works, and rated to minus forty for the walk from the car to the chalet in deep snow. Heavy, hot indoors, and emphatically not a hiking boot.

Washed duck canvas, so it is soft on arrival rather than after a year.
