Mountain Editions are probably my favorite, but man, they're all pretty great looking.

I'm not a huge fan of orange. But I might have to get the switchbacks. I plan on snowboarding alot this summer and hate tearing my shoes up while I'm out there.

I actually like the orange, with the brown cracked leather.

Yeah, I really like the orange, but then again, I always do. Plus, it's great contrast against the rest of the shoe.

I think these are a really nice release. One of those GR's that almost looks syndicate/vault quality. It's gonna be hard for me to not want 'em all. haha

Finally got a pair of these mtn. editions a few weeks ago and got around to breaking 'em in today since we got a few inches of snow. Not bad! I can definitely tell they have a better grip than the traditional waffle sole, although for even better traction I'm sure the lugs would need to be a bit bigger. I wish they had a bit more insulation up front, too. My toes were feeling the cold by the time I got to work. All in all, though, I like 'em!

Can't wait to see how the leather wears, since it seems like the brown will rub off over time, revealing the orange leather underneath.
