A few years ago frost-bitten toes were considered an unfortunate but unavoidable effect of mountaineering boots. If you climbed up enough you were bound to have a couple go numb or worse.

And the revolution is still continuing. New products and insulation are causing boots that are lighter, warmer and much safer than ever.
