The Freney XT GTX are a Light weight boot but a bit pricey for what they are, also watch out for the blisters caused on long routes down in the alps.
Two of us had identicle boots and suffered the same, thought I had broken these in after loads of training but long downhill boulder fields in the Alps don't seem to suit these boots with my feet or the other guys.
These will be going on Ebay

In reply to rhood1uk:
At least in France the boots are actually cheap compared to other similar models.
I've done 2500m descents with these boots quite many times in the Alps and no blisters at all.
