Mt Mera is the highest of the "trekking peaks" in Nepal. These are mountains that are designated for climbing by people who may not have extensive technical climbing experience. Moreover, in a bid to encourage tourism the government charges a far lower fee for permits to climb these mountains than it does for some of the higher and more famous peaks such as Mt Everest.
In my expedition to Mera I in fact used a simple pair of fabric boots with a waterproof liner all the way up to 5,800 meters in altitude. These boots were quite warm enough when worn over a double pair of socks (a thin inner liner made of polypropylene and a thick outer sock made of wool). Yet once I passed my high camp and had to start breaking trail through deep snow I needed a pair of completely waterproof boots with solid gaiters to keep the snow out of them. Even with those warm boots and two pairs of socks my feet felt frozen by the end of the day. I did not get frost bite, but feel that I almost certainly would have without such warm boots.
