winter alpine boots

Suggestions wanted for good quality winter alpine boots ?

Just back from five days fly in at altitude and its already bloody cold up there.
Planning to be in the alps a fair bit this winter and think its time to get a dedicated pair of insulated high altitude boots.
Just your typical tahr hunting with a little bit of crampon work and some snow shoeing also.

Haven't used insulated or goretex boots before and would like to know what works and what doesn't ?
Especially what brands and dealers to avoid due to faults and poor after sale service ?
Not worried cost as will only be used for about a month each year.

Cheers all

Had three mates from Germany with me and they got these. So all happy and plenty seen.

I got a pair of Garmont Mountain Guide Pro from Torpedo 7 for $320 on sale but it doesn't look like they carry that model any longer.

Was lucky to find them in a store so I could try on before buying - sizing was small so went a full size up from EU44 to EU45.

First wore them on day 1 of a 4 day thar trip - very comfortable right out the door.

Maybe your German mates could get you some Lowa's of Meindle's? (Just don't mention the world cup:D)
But seriously....the most important thing about stiff alpine boots is a good fit. Try some on.

@Shearer
I went with fit well Sirius winter's.
They are awesome and there is a guy retailing them in chch.
Google split2

They are so good i brought the standard non insulated Sirius boots as well.
Nice heavy boots.

Take a look into some f the American winter work boots, heavy with a steel cap but inner felt that you can dry.

Might be surprised, got a pair through amazon

I've had a great run from La Sportiva boots. Depends what fits you best really.

I fine steel capped boots in snow make my toes colder, not good if have already had frostbitten toes
