Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"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"

From REI:
"A pinnacle of mountaineering footwear! Light, warm, Nepal EVO Gore-Tex® boots by La Sportiva are the choice for serious climbs. Expedition-worthy, 3.2mm silicone impregnated Idro-Perwanger leather uppers offer the finest in natural breathability and waterproof durability. Total waterproof protection and insulating warmth from seam-sealed Gore-Tex Duratherm® liners. High-rise, Vibram® XSV sticky rubber rands stand up to rock abrasion and crampon wear. Molded heel cups and 3D Flex system at ankles stabilize feet while allowing comfort on long approaches or using French technique. Anatomically shaped for comfort, integrated elastic gaiters help keep out snow and trail debris while keeping in warmth. Roller lacing system, locking D-rings and lace loops allow for effortless on and off even while wearing gloves. EZ OUT pull loops allow quick release of lace locks for easier exit from boots. Removable, padded and ventilated tongues offer a secure, custom fit while relieving pressure from laces. Removable footbeds add support and extra comfort; 9mm Ibi-Thermo insoles are a cork-like material that stiffen & help insulate. HDPE plastic midsoles provide mountaineering stiffness and stay strong in extreme cold while eliminating the weight and chill of a steel shank. Shock-absorbing polyurethane inserts and air cushioning soak up shock and vibration on rock and ice. Durable, high-traction, Vibram® IBS (Impact Brake System) rubber outsoles deliver reliable traction on wet and dry terrain. Molded heel and toe welt areas allow compatibility with most types of crampons, including strap-on, hybrid and rigid step-in."

"I have to give these boots mad props (yes I said mad props). Here's the story: I was stupid and had the brilliant idea of traversing Mt. Adams north to south but the catch was I parked my car on the south side forcing me to backpack around the mountain."
