So yeah... Got these boots in March or so. Broke them in and used them on Rainier later during the year. Took them off after the climb to find that the top two pairs of rivets on one of the boots had rusted/corroded (this was pretty obvious, as it stained the sock quite well, its still rust colored). Took pictures of the defect and described in it an email to CR at Sportiva; was told it was cosmetic and to bring it to a cobbler. Took another (and somewhat angrier) email before they offered to swap. Got swapped for a new pair (-$20 in shipping costs, oh well). I used the second pair climbing Katahdin a few weeks ago; they performed well. Stiff enough to climb in, flex enough to hike in. Not as warm as double plastics I've used in the past however.

Comfortable and sturdy boot - A full feature, four-season boot for the lower-48. If you wear La Sportiva Glaciers or Makalus, these should fit the same albeit with more eyelets for comfort and support around the ankle. The lower eyelets are articulated for ease of lacing. A steel full shank allows for frontpointing confidence while allowing enough rocker for comfortable walking. I've yet to wear these in cold weather, but these boots are as warm as a few double plastics I've tried. I'm very impressed with the look, quality of build, and feel of the Lhotse thus far. I will try and follow-up with a field review.

Great boot for winter in the lower 48 - Typical La Sportiva: quality, fit, and durability. I wore them right out of the box with no problems. Very warm and supportive, but not a problem for the approach as they really hike well. I have found that Sportivas fit my foot type very well: narrow, low volume, so consider that when shopping. Two thumbs up for the Lhotse

Feel the love when you love the feel - I had tried on a few pair of La Sportiva boots in size 47 then blindly ordered these from Zappos in a 48. I threw some super feet in them and I have to say out of 5 pairs of mountaineering boots I own, this is my favorite pair hands down. They are a little heavy, but make up for it with the support. I LOOK for reasons to wear my black beauties... I've done over 15 miles in a day of climbing/hiking, with minimal foot discomfort, they performed amazingly.

This boot is awesome. It has a nice tight fit that really lets you use the stiffness of the sole. I find the build quality good, with only one reservation about the nylon eyelet midway on the boot. In the past with the Makalus, that was the first thing to break. This time, I'll keep them cleaner and hopefully decrease wear and tear. The gortex is great, if not a little hot in the summer time. I use this boot as a field boot.
