Great Boot For Cold Winter Ice Climbing.
I bought this boot for ice climbing in New Hampshire. I've been out four times now in temps down to the single digits (F). Finnish: The first thing you notice when unboxing these is, well, how nice looking they are. The "look" like the build quality is exceptional. Weight: Size 43 (US 10) each boot weighs exactly 1000g. Fit: The fit right out of the box is fantastic. The sizing seems to be spot on with all my other shoes. (US 10, EUR 43). My feet are a little wider than average and I often have compression at the widest part of my foot. Not with these, these fit perfect. I'm not sure how these will fit a narrow foot so be advised to check that if your feet are narrow. As mentioned in other reviews, the lacing system is simple and functional. The locking eyelets allow differential tightening between the top and lower part of the boot. Crampon fit: Grivel Rambo 4 crampons fit perfectly. Steep ice. Great support on steep ice. Hiking: The stiff insole that make these great for vertical ice makes these relatively stiff and inflexible for hiking. For approaches on snow they are fine but I'd look for something else for longer hikes that don't involve steep climbing. Warmth: My feet get cold. I have some toe nerve damage from many years of playing outside in the winter. I have used these standing on ice for 6 hours in air temps in the teens. I've done a couple hikes in temps in the single digits. I do have to put a chemical toe warmer in the toe of the boot but with that my feet have been comfortable in those conditions. The G5 Evo's are probably warmer but these work for what I want. I am very impressed and happy with these boots for what I need (winter ice climbing in temps down to low teens (F). I recommend these for this purpose and would buy again.

La Sportiva Nepal Evo Boot
I purchased these boots to begin Glacier climbing/ trekking where crampons will be required. I wear a 10 to 10-1/2 street and purchased 11-1/12. They come with an extra tongue which I originally did not use and had a bit of heel lift, which adding the tongue solved. Length is perfect where I can kick toe without contact. The construction is high quality and padding is very comfortable and warm. The height of the boot and adjustability of laces works well for me. I have larger calves and narrow ankles which often times is challenging to fit in taller boots. I have these dialed and have been breaking in on some short trails. I am very pleased with the overall fit and confident they will perform very well in intended environment.

Lives Up To The Consensus
These are almost near the top of any mountaineering boot review or recommendation list, and their real world performance lives up to those ratings. They handle automatic crampons perfectly and are excellent on technical ice; at no point did I worry that the crampons might slip, and the full shank gave me huge confidence with every step or kick. The insulation is excellent. With air temps in the single digits, and wind chills well below zero, I was the only member of my Orizaba team that did not have issues with cold toes or feet. Only drawback (and this is a known limitation of any full shank boot) is that non-technical rock and trail hiking is not terribly comfortable.

Great Boot
I bought these for my teenage son who ice climbs. After years of finding second hand boots, we finally came up without an option this year so we went for these. He is thrilled and loves the boot. I thought they would be larger based on some reviews and sizing but they seem to fit truecto euro size.

Great boot for hitting steep ice! Not the warmest but with a toe warmer you will be slaying ice like it's your 9-5. These aren't meant for Denali but for fun days out climbing ice you can't beat it
