Climbing boots with steel plates

MrDiesel · 23rd May 2009, 04:01 PM

Does anyone know where you can source the steel cap (not kevlar cap) climbing boots which have the steel plate in the bottom? I think they are made in Germany. GYC havnt imported anymore. If they do im looking at $600 a pair.

What do you guys use for climbing boots?

I can recommend these boots, GYC used to sell a lesser version, but I went direct to the source. They were very helpful.
I must say that when I first received them they felt like ski boots, but they've become quite comfortable.
Expensive, but the best I've worn for tree work, very good for extended periods in climbing irons.
