La Sportiva Nuptse Mountaineering Boot - Men's

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.

Bottom Line: Precision footwear for the world's highest mountains.

Will the Nuptse climb rock as well as the Nepal? The sole unit

Will the Nuptse climb rock as well as the Nepal? The sole unit looks more like it's oriented toward the walking/trekking end of the mountaineering spectrum.

Rich From What I know you don't want to downsize. In extreme cold, you might want to add an extra insole and you will have sock liners on and heavy mountaineering socks. I talked with a rep at La Sportiva and he suggested upsizing a 1/2 due to swelling too.

montana splitboarder

By:
March 27, 2009

I have been looking for a mountaineering boot that I could use for split-boarding for along time and I finally found I one that fits well in my conventional strap bindings. I do have bigger fee(US12, Euro 46) so the boot being a tad bulky did contribute to some toe drag but nothing that rider who is used to boards that don't fit their feet can't handle. I got this boot one day before I was to set off on a 7 day ski trip into the Beartooth wilderness in Montana. In ski mode the boot was very comfortable and climbed well. I will say there was a nominal break-in/adjustment time that was resolved after 3 miles of skinning. When we got to grasshopper glacier the wind was blowing a sustained 40 mph, so spindrift was an issue. The storm grew worse over the continuing days and my outer gear was wet and frozen but my feet were warm...amazing. We broke camp early because the storm was worsening...I was 5 feet under the snow and my cave would rumble and growl from the gusts outside. We braved the pass in 80+ winds in white out conditions and while my body was a little chilled as we navigated by compass my feet stayed warm. I have since taken the boots into Hylite canyon and I found that they climb ice very well. I would recommend these boots to all split-boarders that are looking to do mountaineering. My only concern is that they may be to warm this spring/summer but I am sure I can figure out way to vent them properly. Bottom line they flex at the ankle like a snowboard boot. The boot is comfortable to hike and skin in and is very stiff laterally.

What's the actual weight of these boots: it says 2552 g and 6lb 12 oz., but 2552 g is actually 5 lb 10 oz.

Heavy! Those two weights probably reflect different sizes (I realize that makes no sense, but there is is). Mountain Gear lists the weight as 6 pounds, so the answer is probably closer to 5 lbs 10. And obviously, the bigger the size you need, the heavier they'll be. You ain't gonna be dancing.

Between both of those I'd got with the double plastic boots but it really depends on how cold your feet run on a regular basis.

I am looking for a good pair of all round boots that I can use

I am looking for a good pair of all round boots that I can use on Rainer, Hood, Mt. Washington (Winter) and maybe Denali in a few years. I used a pair off Double plastic Koflach on Rainer in August and froze w sock liners and Pat. Mountaineering socks. My feet are always cold. I was looking at La Sportiva Nuptse, Nepal, Batura or Scarpa Summits. I was unsure about other Scarpa's. Any suggestions?Also a boot that will cross ocer for a day of ice climbing?

This is a great boot for everything you're looking to do. My feet also tend to run cold all the time.....too many times w/ frostbite racing bikes. I am using the Nepals for everything and they've been great. I have been in anything overly extreme in them.... Only down to about -5ºf but the toes have been just fine. As far as ice climbing there's nothing that beats the Nepal! I think you'd be great with either boot! Hope that helps.
