It is uninsulated, so I would recommend it as a hiking boot.

Hi mhare. This boot works well as a stiff hiking boot suitable for multi-day excursions with a heavy pack. Yes, it has a full nylon shank, but it won't take clip-on crampons that you need for highly technical terrain. If you're looking for something to take you vertically (i.e. ice climbing) check out a true mountaineering boot by Scarpa or La Sportiva.
