Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boots - Size 11 - $100
These have had several days in NZ and several trips in the AUS Alps. I wear a size 10 normally and these are nicely oversized to avoid bashing your toes and I get minimal heel lift. The shells are virtually in-destructible. They are warmer and stiffer than the new style leather and synthetic boots. They would also be good for Alpine Touring with skis due to their stiffness and when used with compatible bindings.

The Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boot is the world's most popular plastic hiking boot, and has probably seen most every mountain in the world. Well, the pair you buy wouldn't have... yet. This Scarpa boot features the super-durable and lightweight PEBAX shell and high altitude liner that gives the Scarpa Inverno a reputation for absolute comfort when compared to other mountaineering boots on the market. Having a reputation can be difficult, but these Scarpa hiking boots aren't scared. The Inverno will take you from water to land with a rocker sole that is easy to walk in, so hop confidently through freezing water puddles on your way up the nearest mountain without a single worry about dreaded wet socks. Wet socks suck.

Some pics here - the scuffs on the outer shells are all superficial and if you get a new pair they will look exactly the same after a few hours of morraine walking.

Plastics are the perfect thing to buy second hand, as it is really hard to know whether they will be comfy warm and good, or if they will destroy you. This model destroyed me, but they work great for many people = )

I borrowed a pair of plastic Asolo's once and holy crap never again! I now own a pair of Evo's and love them.
