Thanks for the response.

I've already exhausted all those options. I was at Iglu and Anapurna. In both stores they were very friendly and engaged, but they don't have size 47, unfortunately.
tol that price tempted me too when I saw it on Iglu's page.

Otherwise I tried LS Extreme and Karakorum, the shape should be the same, if I'm not mistaken.

What about Hervis in Klagenfurt, do they stock such boots, because at our Hervis they don't.

Does anyone have info how much La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX cost in
Papisport?
Here I can't get my shoe size.
To them about 130 km, wonder if worth sitting in car and driving there.

Somewhere read they speak Slovenian too, is that real info?

Their page doesn't offer much info except open on Sundays too.

Igorf, could you please argue a bit on the last point:

- I avoid modern "light" boots and it has always proved to be a good decision.


No offense, but to me it sounds like:
I avoid modern cars with plastic bumpers and swear by older Mercedes with metal bumpers. But we know newer cars are safer also thanks to all that plastic.

bridnk and spetovar thanks a lot for the reply, because I don't want someone to say these boots are excellent and the brand is the right one, and I hop to the shop and buy them. I also know there's no noticeable quality difference between the two brands (at least I'm probably not able to detect it), but I like to gather as much info as possible on what I'm interested in. Exactly as you said spetovar, I've already taken time and will take more. I know the most important is that the boot "fits" the foot, that's why I go to shops and try boots to decide on the optimal solution at the end. But I must say, on such a forum you get much better quality info than in some shops where you feel they don't want to sell a 300€ boot (half joke, half serious).

As for ice climbing, it's clear I won't go to Mojstrana and say boys watch out I'm coming, but I'll approach step by step properly.

Nice greeting.

I'm buying new boots and deciding between

La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX
La Sportiva Karakorum Pro GTX
Asolo BROAD PEAK GV
Asolo LHOTSE GV

I need advice if it's suitable to wear Nepal EVO also in summer in the high mountains (for blueberry picking it's out ) or are they too hot and too stiff?

I tried the La Sportiva boot and it fits my foot perfectly, I plan to try the Asolo boot in the next few days, so any comparisons, experiences, and advice would be very helpful.
I hope I was clear enough, if not, tell me to add more.

Thanks.

P.S. The boot must be suitable for automatic crampons, as I plan to try some ice climbing.

Nice greeting

On Wednesday my girlfriend and I plan to go to Triglav via Tominšek route. Now I'm curious about the conditions, since the sun these days has probably melted quite some snow, or am I wrong?
The biggest problem is probably where the pitons are. If there's still too much snow I'll wait a bit longer.

Are crampons mandatory or recommended?

Thanks for the reply.

Best regards
