Product description
The Nepal Extreme from La Sportiva are insulated, fully crampon-compatible mountaineering boots for the demanding terrain of the high mountains. They feature a water-repellent Idro-Perwanger leather upper with a protective rand to shield the leather from abrasion and damage. As for the interior, the boot has been fitted with a Synergy Primaloft lining, which provides the necessary insulation in cold weather. Plus, it’s both water repellent and quick-drying as well. It also boasts a great warmth-to-weight ratio and wicks away moisture efficiently to keep your feet nice and dry. To shield you from the cold from below, La Sportiva has incorporated a 9mm thick Ibi-Thermo insole. As for the outsole, the boot features a Vibram sole for superb grip and traction. It also comes equipped with an Impact Brake System for more braking power on descents and added cushioning thanks to the unique position of the lugs. The EZ-Out pull loop makes unlocking the lace lock a whole lot easier. You’ll feel right at home in the mountains with the Nepal Extreme!

Tried different soft or medium firm boots, but there is no comparison to this extra firm boot.
Tested it in -20 degrees celsius and 1 meter snow and also used the crampons on the frozen side of the mountain.
All was a bit more that I have been used to, but after 7 hours of trkking in these conditions my feet were warm and dry, and also my legs had all the support they needed.
I really made a great decision.

Hello Brendan,
For Mont Blanc, these boots should work well, as they provide good insulation and support for mixed terrain. However, for Elbrus, opinions vary, as people prefer double layer boots there as it can be cold in the mornings and colder months.
Hi I would like to buy these boots.
I'm a size 11 UK.
Would I want to go up a size or keep it at size 11?
Hi Paul, I would go up a half EU size for the best fit.
Hi Adrian,thanks, for getting back to me.
I'm going to the himalayas at the end of March for a month of trekking and some climbing.
My old boots were stolen last week so I have to buy a new pair.
I'm sure these boots would be perfect for the himalayas.
My itinerary is mera peak,island peak, goyoko ri Trek, and Everest base camp.
Do yiu think those boots would be okay for that trek?
Many thanks

Hi Paul, I'd say that these will not fit the bill. They'll be too stiff for trekking and not well enough insulated for those over 6,000m peaks. A regular trekking boot will see you through for most of your trip but for the higher peaks you'll be needing something like the Scarpa Phantom 6000.
Hi Adrian ,I'll take a look at the scarpa phantom 6000.
Thanks so much for your help.
Many thanks
Paul
Hi, im 11 as well and I've got these in 46.5 and they are just right for me.

Hi Oana, Yes but only if they fit and the only way to know that will be to try on. Thw sidth and volume in this model may be a little too much if you have a very slim foot and if that is the case something women's specfic like the following would be a better choice:

Hello, can you please tell me if the sizing of Nepal Extreme corresponds to Nepal Cube? Thanks!
Hey Bogdan,
yes, it's the same sizing.
Best regards,
Max
Hi Treasa , The Nepal Extreme is not available in a female version but you could check out both the La Sportiva Women's Nepal Cube GTX or the Scarpa Women's Mont Blanc Pro GTX.
