La Sportiva produce some of the best technical footwear on the market, and the Nepal Cube GTX are no exception. These lightweight boots weigh a mere 825g per boot and boast exceptional thermal properties. The sole/midsole uses a Carbon Tech Honeycomb that reduces bulk, which combined with the boot’s mini steel parts allows the Nepal Cube GTX to remain light. However, the Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort lining is the secret to this boot; not only does it provide comfort underfoot, but it also allows moisture to escape the boot, keeping your foot cool and dry.

The boots are easy to slip on and lace up smoothly - they can be tightened with a pull on top of the foot, and the OUT technology for the tongue allows a precise fit by folding out of the way when tying the laces up. There is also the option of a secondary tongue that can attach to the inside of the boot for a more snug fit, and the back of the original tongue has a mesh fabric material that helps wick away any moisture, and

The Nepal Cube GTX’s ankle support is great whilst on rugged terrain or in deep snow, and the Vibram sole has an Impact Brake System that absorbs negative ground impact, providing a comfortable springy step whilst the graded lugs provide excellent traction on slippery surfaces and downhills.

The only thing I would change with the boot is to maybe have another inch on each lace, to allow you to really get a grip of them when pulling them tight. Other than this, these boots are brilliant, warm, dry, practical and comfortable straight out of the box - another excellent creation by La Sportiva. RRP £420
