I'm fairly new to serious mountaineering and am looking to get some advice on boots.

Next year I'm climbing Kilimanjaro (which is, I've been told, to all intense purposes a long hike), I'm also looking to get into some Scottish winter climbing. Whilst I'm not planning on doing anything too technical, I want crampon compatibility, something that will keep my foot warm and something that can take a beating. I had my eye on the La Sportiva Makalu or Glacier, however a recent 'expert' told me to ditch that and go with a Trango S EVO GTX. I'm not too sure how good his advice is.

To be honest, I could do with some sound advice here. Any info would be appreciated. Cheers. Ed
