mad rock alpinist boots

I'm looking for a first pair of ice/alpine boots and mad rock is selling cosmetically blemished pairs of these guys for $160. Reviews, however, are hard to come by. Anyone have any thoughts about whether I should take the deal or spend an extra $100 or so on a bigger name boot? While we're at it, if anyone has size ~44 boots in decent condition that they're looking to sell, let me know.

They're pretty uncomfortable. You'll be in your boots all day and should drop the extra $100. Besides, if you look hard you can find a pair for $100. Everyone unloads them after a season.

get the boot which fits regardless of how cheap/expensive they are ...

then worry about the other stuff ...

don't get Mad Rocks, alpine footwear is not something you want to skimp on.

Get what fits. That is basically the only thing that matters.

I've got a nearly new pair I'd sell ya for a hundred plus shipping. I'll have to dig them out and double check the sizing though. Interested?

I think I'm gonna wait--I wouldn't get to use them much this winter, anyway. thanks though

I have a pair of them, they're uncomfortable and they fall apart very quickly. If you buy boots, definitely step another price margin.
