Hello,
well, too much info make me rather confused! So, are these boots stiffer than the Nepals or not? Are they warmer? Could they be "safely" used in temps down to -25C (without a VB sock, or maybe i ask too much!)?
Overall, which boot is "best", except the general rule "fit is key".
Thanks!

They won't go down to -25C. I would say -18C is the min temp rating for these without overboots. If you need -25C, look to the Scarpa 6000 Guides, or a plastic boot like the Omegas.

I would say the would be comparable in stiffness to the Nepal. They both have fully rigid insoles to accept fully rigid crampons. These do have goretex duratherm insulation in them so hey will keep your feet toasty. As far as -25c i cannot comment since all sorts of variables play into this.. I do know that i have been pretty cozy in some cold weather in Colorado . They will fit a touch wider than the Lasportiva
