Wondering if anyone has experience or views on these boots or any other lightweight alpine footwear?

I noticed a few pairs in huts this year and was certainly envious of the weight saving compared to my Nepal Extremes.

I would worry about the lack of ankle support and how they would cope in cold weather. Especially in Scottish winter where I suspect they wouldn't be ridged enough for even intermediate grades?

Interested to hear opinions.

They had a very positive review from the guys that did the winter Cuillin traverse in 6hrs 14:
