From Backcountry.com:
"La Sportiva Glacier EVO Men's Mountaineering Boots bridge the gap between heavy hiking boots and beefy mountaineering boots. The secret to the Glacier EVO Boots' versatility is their integrated Reactive Spoiler System in the cuffs which provide enough flexibility for the trail and plenty of support for glacier travel. Vibram New-Ice soles give you all the traction you need for dirt, mud, or snow, and the 1/2-length steel shank supports these boots for use with newmatic crampons."

At first, this is a heavy backpacking/light mountaineering booth, so you have to wear them often before going to any extended trip."
