From Backcountry.com:
"The La Sportiva Men's Nuptse Mountaineering Boot easily handles the harsh demands of technical alpine climbing at high altitudes. When you get on the big rig in Alaska and the Himalayas, you need a boot that climbs with precision and protects your foot from the extreme cold. Inside the Nuptse's lightweight, waterproof synthetic shell lies a warm PE liner that can be removed and dried in your tent at night. This fully crampon-compatible boot has been on some of climbing history's most impressive ascents including the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"If you go where the air is thin and your only heat source burns from within, few mountaineering boots fit or serve you better than the double boot La Sportiva Nuptse. Beneath the insulated shell is a warm inner boot made with close cell polyurethane foam and sealed with an internal lace closure system. The inner bootie has tread on the bottom so you can wear it in base camp and never remove it while at altitude. The Nuptse is step-in crampon compatible and sized in half-size increments for optimal comfort."

"After hiking for years with old-school leather hiking boots in winter, it was time for a change. No amount of thick double socks kept my feet warm so I invested in these boots. What a difference! It took a few tries to get the size right, but after the process of elimination and some trial walking, these boots fit perfectly!

They are comfortable with no rubbing and the quality of workmanship is outstanding."

"These boots are great fitting and allow you to bend just enough in the ancle so you stay in control but are very comfortable. Great traction and crampons hold very well also. They fit like gloves as all La Sportiva boots do."
