Anyone have these boots or any of the Norwegian welt boots they make?

What are your overall thoughts?I have the Sella's and Tofane's. What would you like to know?
What are your overall thoughts?
I typically wear Lowa Tibet for heavier boots... Others (kenetrek, scarpa, crispi, USA made Danners) just don't seem to fit at all.
I ordered a pair of tofanes in a 10 and they felt a little big and I didn't like the short height, so I returned them to moosejaw. Looking at ordering the Sellas in a 9.5.
These Norwegian welts seem to be built extremely well (one of the best I've ever put on my foot, better than the lowas, though I've had no complaints with the Tibet. I was a little concerned about the lack of rand around the boot as it's just on the toe.
Anything else you feel is worth pointing out?

Are the welted boots worth the additional coin?

How was the leather in terms of stretching?
Did the gotetex liner hold any better over years of use?
Have you had them resoled?
Do you use aftermarket insoles?

Those 960s are great boots, they came out with a non gtx version that is leather lined that will be my next pair of boots.I took mine to WY last year along with Salomon Quest and Scarpa Grand Dru. I was surprised that I enjoyed the Salomons the most, by far. The Zamberlans and Scarpas didn't give me enough feel and made me seem more unstable. I have two bad knees so knowing/feeling what I'm stepping on is pretty important. I will be saving the Zamberlans for other type hunts and may sell the Scarpas.
I did buy the 960 Guide boot recently and I'm betting they will be just as comfortable as the Solomons but a much more durable boot.
