In reply to pancakeandchips:
They're terrible for the UK in conditions where there is damp grass to cross, on the sections that cross the damp grass. But if you allow for that then they're great.
So far this year I've worn mine for 2 long scrambling days in Scotland (they were poor crossing the snow on the summit of Ben Nevis, but you'd expect that), and a day climbing a Diff link-up in Langdale. Last year I used one pair as approach shoes for the Talisman (so a good 3 hours walk in, a bit more for the walk out as we took in a few summits), another pair the next day for a 17 mile walk over Lochnagar and some of its tops, taking in a Mod climb and a scramble on the way.
