Be careful of the zippers
Chris Lang

Loved these boots, they are warm,climbed well and fit my feet great. I'm a huge fan of Mammut and was very happy with these boots for about a month. I had the zipper get stuck on the right boot after a long day in the mountains and I had to fight to even get the boot off my foot. Luckily I was inside at that point so it was more of a nuisance. The next day the zipper worked fine and I didn't see any problems with the teeth so I took it as a fluke. Fast forward to the next weekend and after my approach I went to tighten up the boots for the climb and I was unable to get the zipper down at all. It wouldn't budge and after five minutes of fighting with it in the cold I gave up and proceeded to climb with a loose\sloppy right boot. I attempted several more times thought the climb to get the zip down but was unable to. Even after I had them home in the warm air the zip was still stuck so back they went to Backcountry. Too bad I really liked them too.

Thanks for the input on the crampon fit. I only asked as people have had issues with Scarpa boots with BD Vrs Petzl so forth and so on. If i was gonna risk a real good crampon fit i would just go with La Sportiva boots as i know my Petzl Lynx fit the Batura Evo well.
Thanks again...

Awesome Boot
Steve Banks

Mammut has dialed in their boot fit and the Nordwand is an awesome addition to their line up. Warm, light and technical I have been very impressed thus far. The carbon shank instead of steal keeps the feet warmer and makes the boot lighter.
I have a tricky foot in a size 44 with a wide forefoot and narrow heal. These boots fit well enough for me with minimal heal lift while climbing. While I could deal with a bit more width in the front, that is always the case for me as ski boots have ravaged my feet over the years.
The boot walks well on dry trail approaches and climbs exceptionally well. During a long downpour I did experience a bit of water leaching through the orange Mammut stitching on the top, but a shot of Scotchgaurd took care of this.
I've had this boot up to 16,000 feet and was impressed with the warmth. I also did a glacier traverse the other day in a t-shirt and shorts and the boot was not too hot. Maybe they used their "cold black" technology? I'm not sure.
Good boot.

I've only been on two outings with these boots but so far I am satisfied.
I normally wear size 10 street shoes and ended up with size 11's in the Norwands. I have wide-ish feet and these are higher volume boot compared to the Scarpa Guides which I also considered buying.
I have worn several different climbing-mountaineering boots over the years from Galibier double leather boots to double plastic to insulated leather etc... but these are my first synthetic - integrated gaiter boots. I mostly plan on using these for ice climbing in Québec and the NE United States. I bought these boots to replace my shredded Koflach Artis expeditions, circa 1996 and also my too-small Sportiva Nepal Tops. My criteria were, in order of importance, warmth, fit (minimum heel lift) and durability. Warmth is determined by fit and these fit me well. The Scarpa guides were narrower and my heel was more secure but my toes were more restricted and I was worried my feet would be colder due to this. I thought the builld quality on both boots was the same. The mammut Norwands are tagged as Raichles inside and Raichle has always made good boots.
For the Norwands I replaced the insole with red Superfeet (insulated) insoles which lifted my heels into the heel cup to reduce heel lift. I had to cinch hard on the laces and velcro strap to avoid heel lift when climbing vertical ice but the boots were still comfy.
Here are my impressions after about two miles of hiking and 300m of ice climbing up to grade 5 ice. These are not as warm as my koflachs but are more comfortable (although not outrageously so). My Nepals are tighter fitting and climb better but are much colder than the Norwands.
The durability of the Koflachs and the Nepals are superior to the Norwands.
These are a new type of boot for me and I think they are near or at the top of their class but I'm not sure this class of boots is right for me. They have a slight comfort advantage over plastic doubles for approaches but are not as warm and with plastics you also have the possibility of adding an insulated gaiter. They are warmer than insulated leather boots but less comfortable and durable.
I will keep you updated after 10 or 12 more outings when I wear them in some more.

How much thinsulate is in these boots? I'm wondering how warm they are.

I would write a Mammut representative directly. It's not listed online.
