I have 2 pairs of Scarpa alpine boots, all leather, Vibram sole, size 48 Euro.  Had 'em since 2001 (bought an identical spare set 1/2 price a year later).

They are a little bit hot in summer, but the all leather protects the foot extremely well.  They're all season and can take crampons. 

They best boots I ever had period.  I'm loathe to break in the 2nd pair, the 1st pair is still going strong despite being beat to all to hell.   

Got some other cheapo Columbia cloth tops, but they're for just kicking around.

Decide if Louisiana is where I want to be long term (considering maybe NV or NC - any feedback? Anyone know the market for Retina surgeons, or as my friends describe me, "eye dentists?"  )
