>>2498258>They are for ice climbingNah, those are just run of the mill mountaineering boots.
>>2498250I went snowshoeing once last winter with my insanely warm Millet Radikal Pro mountaineering boots. They are just unbelievably heavy compared to your average winter boots (2x heavier than a cheap pair I bought at Aldi for $30).
If you're hiking on a firm snow trail it won't matter much, but if you're going in deep snow (and should be using snow shoes) then the weight will fatigue you more than need be.
