I have owned a pair of Nepals for a couple of years now and they are starting to feel like an 'ol friend. At first they kinda hurt my feet pretty bad and had considerable heel lift but after trying various insole/sock combinations and ALOT of break-in (more than the 30 or so miles I've read some needed) they got more and more comfortable. Guess with leather mountaineering boots that goes with the territory. When it came time to decide which double boot to got with I went with the Baruntse primarily because the foot bed is similar to the Nepal and I'm confident in the LS fit to my foot and so far I can't be happier in the few short day trips I use them on.
