Heel popping goodness

I've owned multiple pairs of Nepal Cubes simply because they are the only women's mountaineering boot on the market. It is still difficult to fine my right size (37.5), so I ended up with a pair of 38s (after slipping around in 39s for 2 years and losing multiple toenails to a 37). Overall the boot works and is durable, as I've been using my current pair for the last 4 years. My biggest gripe is that no matter what modifications I make, I can't seem to get it so my heel isn't sliding around and popping out every time I use my front points. I wish they had a double version of this boot with a boa system so I could make sure my shoelaces stay tight through the whole climb. I also wish they were warmer, as my feet inevitably go numb every time I'm out. At the end of the day, I guess I should be thankful there is one women's option, but this is a pretty basic boot and doesn't offer as much warmth or security as I want.
Excellent Ice Climbing Boot

I purchased these boots for a summer job as an ice climbing guide on a glacier in Alaska, and they never failed to impress me. I never worried about the waterproofing failing, and the full shank design with heel and toe bail worked well with any pair of crampons for an excellent climbing experience. I would choose a lighter shoe for extended glacier trekking, but for climbing, these win!
