A friend of mine bought a pair of those boots and got rid of them because they tore his feet to shreds. They are OK if you wear them for ice climbing ( 1-2 short routes at a time). But don't try to walk more than 5 miles in them. In short go with a quality boot.

I totally disagree with the above. I have these boots and they are amazing. I use them for every winter climb & hike. I've done 20 mile days without one issue. It's a matter of getting a boot that fits you correctly. They fit me perfectly.

Boot shopping 101: Try on as many as you can. Buy the one that fits.

What's the best boot for _______ ?: The one that fits!

Who's the climber having the most fun? The one with boots that fit!

The boots are awesome, as it is the rest of MIllet gear.

most guides in Chamonix use that boot... l

but to answer your question:
I think that they are warmer than the Nepals
