Zamberlan boots?

Anyone on here have experience with Zamberlan mountaineering products?

Looking at their 3030 Eiger Lite GTX RR BOA boots for ice climbing, they look great but there's not much info about them online.

Trying to decide between those and Asolo's Eiger XT EVO GV boots, both look great but only the Asolos seem to be widely used and reviewed.

I have the  3030 Eiger Lite GTX RR BOA for about a year now. I've really enjoyed them. I wish they had boa for the upper as the velcro can loosen up a bit over time but it's not been dramatic. My one complaint with the velcro though, is the metal loop that holds in the strap can rotate if you pull on the velcro really hard. It's always an easy fix but it does make me a little concerned for the longevity of the leather that hold the metal loop in place. Overall though I've been really happy with them. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

I got the Zamberlan Eiger 3000 without the Boa end of last season. Only climbed on them about a dozen times so far.

They are slightly heavier than many of the other options. The new version is lighter, so should be pretty middel of the road.

The fit is great: snug in the heels without weird pressure points digging into my Achilles. Medium through the middle and a nice roomy toe box. Especailly having room for my big toe.

I wear 45 in most of my regular shoes, 46 in some running shoes. Got these in 45.5. Note that in some places they list that as 45h.

crampons fit well, not too much rocker in the sole. This does mean I would not want to use them for long hikes without crampons. New one might be different.

Supportive ankle, leaning more to the support side then to the freedom of movement side. of course lossingeing the ankle laces helps. Still, not the boot for hard drytooling.

nice tall gaiter. I hate built in gaiters that are too short, then you still need to add a gaiter. Velcro back up.

super happy with them.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
