Is the sole on this boot the same as the one on the Mamook boot. And if not how do they differ?

correction to my previous answer, having now bought the mamooks...sorry! The mamooks have a traditional looking sole with deep tread. The Monoliths have a more modern shallower tread. Both adequate but the Mamooks will last longer. With the top laces slack they are ok to walk in despite being utterly rigid. They are a very snug fit and hence not very warm unless you buy a bigger size (and then wouldn't be so amazingly precise and dextrous).

The Mamooks are a more rigid boot, better suited to vertical ice, rock or on trips where you are likely to have a crampon on nearly 100% of the time. The Monoliths on the other hand have a bit more flex and would be much more comfortable on the approach. Though the Monoliths offer more flex they still are stiff enough for crampon use.

yes- have just checked in the same shop. both are quite low profile - not agressive heel and fairly shallow tread. ok.
