La Sportiva Nepal Cube Mountaineering Boots
These boots are fantastic for mountaineering in New Zealand and Nepal.  They have been used at 3000m for Winter climbing in New Zealand in -10 degress Celsius without any issues.

They required minimal wear in and didn't give any blisters and hot spots during a long walk in or climbing.  Crampons fit without any issues and stayed secure through mixed snow, ice and rock climbing.

The only issue i had was sore soles of my feet after walking out on hard ice for a few hours.  This was the same feeling as walking on hard floor tiles for long periods.  

At the time of writing, these boots haven't been tested above 3000m, such as higher climbs in Nepal.

Overall a fantastic boot for all round mountaineering.
