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."
