Expert reviews 1
After trying most of the Step On boots on the market, the reviewer picked this one as their favourite. The length is spot on and the lower liner doesn't pack out, so the fit lasts. It is narrower than Nitro's regular boots, though, so E-width feet need heat moulding, and the lack of a wide version is called out as a shortcoming. It weighs in the 1.2 kg range, a little above average.
