The insulated Pro Gaiter is unlike any other mountaineering and ice-climbing boot we鈥檝e ever seen. The metal shank in the boot鈥檚 midsole ends in a cam like device in the heel that鈥檚 attached to a dial. When you want to stiffen up the boot鈥攕ay, once you鈥檝e finished the approach and are ready to put on your crampons and go vertical鈥攖wist the dial on the side with either the included tool or a coin and it cams the shank, making the boot 100% rigid for the climb. Available January 15.
