<description>La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I just purchased my first pair of mountaineering boots and suspect they might be a little big. How much heal play and toe room should I have? When laced I can lift my heal 1/2&#x26;quot; and freely wiggle my toes. Any advise?</description>

<description>Scarpa Charmoz GTX Mountaineering Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;When I tried on the La Sportiva Trango S EVO as a 46, they were just a bit too short, so I had planned to order a 46 1/2, until someone suggested the Scarpa Charmoz instead.  I have a narrow heel and a narrow to mid front foot.  The Trango EVO fit very well otherwise.  How do these two boots compare?</description>

<description>Mammut Monolith GTX Boot - Men&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;m looking for a dedicated winter mountaineering boot that will perform well in New England in the winter while climbing through the presidentials but would also be up for a early spring trip to Mount Rainier and the occasional vertical climbing. It seems like these might be more of a year round boot and not as focused on winter mountaineering. I was also looking at the Mammut Mamook, but that is kind of out of my price range. Will this boot fit my needs?&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Thanks</description>
