After some time of using them and seeing them (ab)used I am surprised how durable they are. Yes, occasional rivet needs a replacement but otherwise if you use them for touring without much rock mountaineering they do last. I will post an article about this since Reiner Thoni skis them all the time with any skis since he got them. He even skied <a href="http://theoutsideout.blogspot.com/2011/09/robson-skimountaineering.html" rel="nofollow">Mt Robson on Pierre Gignoux</a> ;) Re: How robust PG boots are?

I would say surprisingly robust. Are they as robust as an all plastic boot--I don't think so; The Pierre Gignoux's are a formula 1 race car; They are what you want when you want the lightest, stiffest best performing boot out there. Hi Michael,

I've only raced once- after moving to Germany last year- but am willing to put out the cash for these after reviewing your comments here and on wildsnow.com regarding the improvement in skiability. I have but one question- how robust are they for full-time use? Thanks for your time, Mike Michael,

Nice pictures, especially the last one. Hey cool… the tongue looks just like the one I formulated for my F1′s. Nice pictures, especially the last one.
