La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's

La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men's description

The La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot is the evolution of the original Nepal Extreme boot. Designed for technical mountaineering on high elevation terrain and ice, this boot benefits from a Gore-Tex/Duratherm lining which makes it completely waterproof and breathable. The innovative 3D Flex System allows your ankle an anatomical full-range of motion making movement more natural and stable without compromising holding power. Ibi-Thermo insulating foot beds stave off frostbite while integrated elastic gaiters keep the snow out. The Impact-Brake-System Vibram sole has integrated anti-shock air cushioning in the heel to smooth your way; tapered-TPU crampon-compatible midsoles coupled with expanded-PU, anti-shock inserts under the heel and ball of the foot further prevent excessive impact-fatigue. This boot is serious about mountaineering; just like you

Bottom Line: When not only success but also survival can depend on your boot, why wouldn't you choose the best?

Awesome mountaineering boots. These are my first full-shank leather boots for waterfall ice. I've climbed for a long time with Scarpa Inverno's and I haven't noticed a difference in warmth between them and the Nepal Evo's. These boots were very easy to break in----they were pretty much ready to go out of the box which was quite surprising! On alpine and waterfall ice routes they have performed amazingly well---the ability to move my ankles through a range of motion is a huge advantage when compared to climbing in double mountaineering boots. The Nepal Evo's might also be a good choice for people with a narrow heel & ankle as the they are the first boots I've had where I don't need to do fancy lacing or add inserts to lock my heels down to prevent them from moving inside the boot. Also, having the tongue inserts that come with the boots is a creative way to tweak the fit of these boots. Overall, I'm really pleased with the Nepal Evo's

These are by far the best mountaineering boots I've owned! Great support everywhere, great traction performance is incredible. I'd recommend these to anyone!
