I purchased these but never used them and they've been stored away. There is no box. As the photos show, there are some minor scratches on the ankle area, but they are not noticeable unless you look closely. These are mountaineering boots for the coldest winter conditions. How about them for the upcoming snow mountain season? With a sock-fit construction that integrates the upper and stretch gaiter, an S-TEC (Schoeller(R)) tongue, and a flexible ankle design, these boots offer improved lightness, fit, and flexibility. They are suitable for a wide range of uses, from general trekking to winter climbing. The Japanese specification uses the same wide last as the Mont Blanc, providing excellent comfort on general mountain trails.
