Manta Tech's are my recommendation for a first pair of crampon ready mountain boots. This is because they have excellent crampon fit; a wider, more relaxed fit for comfort during long days in the mountains; sufficient warmth for the majority of NZ conditions; and good ankle support for confidence front pointing. While some may be inclined to go with a lighter option for increased speed and precision, the Manta Tech's are capable enough to not require upgrading in the near future and durable enough to inherit from your grandfather.
