In reply to wbo:
i had super old & super heavy plastic Scarpas, so anything will be an improvement on those,,
was looking at : "LA SPORTIVA NEPAL TOP EXTREME'S" - partly because of the price
but the name puts me off... 'Nepal extreme' sounds like a bit of a marketing ploy plus things with extreme in the title are usually trash. in my experience anyway...
again id just be in Scotland,
anyone had any experiences with them or other sugestions?
