The boots are brand new and never used. I bought them when my postal package of climbing goods got lost in transit. I was heading out on a mountain expedition so I had to get a new pair, but then about a week before the trip my original climbing goods magically showed up. Suddenly I was sitting with two pairs of La Sportiva Nepal Extreme. Problem is I had already thrown away the original box and taken off the labels, so I couldn’t return them to Bergfreunde where I ordered them from.
