My old ice/mountaineering boots are Koflach Arctis Expe's and while they served me well, I decided to get a new boot this winter. The first day I climbed in the Cubes I fell in love with them. The temp was in the mid twenties and breezy and my feet never got cold and they performed fantastic. The fit is so much more secure feeling. My son tried them and they worked great for him too so I bought a Paul · REI

I bought my 1st pair of Quest 4D boots back in 2020, and I am still wearing them to this day. (Have them on right now actually) Not sure the mileage on them, but I've worn them ALOT. I was quick to order a 2nd pair in 2021 that I slowly rotated in from time to time. Now, 6 years later, my trusty original pair are starting to show signs of wear where the toe cap is slightly separating from the boot Greg S · backcountry.com
