The right boots for the job

Looking at the suggested list of equipment, it looks like I've got most of the things I need. However, I'm not sure my current hiking boots will suffice, so best think about getting a pair of mountain boots that will work in snowy, cold conditions. So, thinking about the Scarpa Cumbre GSB.
Here's a bit of blurb from the website: The Cumbre GSB by Scarpa is a classic mountaineering boot, that offers high performance, and exceptional durability, from an alpine and winter mountaineering boot. Perfect for UK winter routes and ice climbing, this boot is equally at home on a Himalayan peak of up to 6500m, summer alpine trips and ice climbing/cragging trips.

Might try-on a pair on my next trip to the Lake District. Will need to buy them with enough time to wear them in before the trip...
