Nepal trails are stone staircases for hours at a time, and the descents are what hurt. High ankle support and a stiff midsole matter more than weight.
Wear them for at least 50 km before you fly. Blisters on day two of a fourteen-day trek shape the whole trip.

Half a size up. Feet swell on long descents and toenails pay for a snug fit.
