La Sportiva

Nice quality shoe, and very comfortable. The shoe is short and narrow for its size, and fits somewhat like a rock climbing shoe. You may want to consider ordering one size up for hiking use.

Just took these with me on a trip through Patagonia, and I was more than impressed with them. Great for all kinds of terrain, even as everyday walking shoes. One of the best pairs of shoes I have ever owned. Was my first La Sportivas and I am sure this won't be the last! And the VIP Zappos next day service was great!

This is the best trail runner I have had. Nike's sole construction is terrible for rocks, dirt and mud. NB is slightly better but tricky on wet rocks and logs. This is the right idea...look at the bottom views! Plus the overlap on the tongue keeps out debris. Tuff toe guard too!

I have had chronic problems with shin splints a and ankle support. I also require arch support. The insole I received when I purchased this boot provided for all of the above. I no longer get shin splints and my foot arch feels great. :)

The most comfortable of the heavy duty backpacking boots I've ever worn. Crampons work well and are stable due to the stiff shanks. If you plan to wear thick wool socks over liners one should consider up-sizing. Normally I wear size 46 but I bought size 48 and the fit is perfect even with the thickest socks. This is not a hiking boot for day trips for that buy ASOLO 520s which are super comfortable right out of the box.

I bought these shoes for mud runs and I could not be more pleased. They provide great traction on slick muddy hills, does not retain a lot of water after being submerged in cold lake and ice bath. These shoes have taken me through Ruckus Run and Tough Mudder. These shoes are not going to feel like your road running shoes, as they should not. my marathoning shoes are lightweight Brooks Pure Flow. They would not hold up in the Tough Mudder.

I have always loved Sportiva shoes for climbing, trail running and hiking. This trail running shoe accompanies my Crosslite when I don't need something as aggressive. I've ended up wearing the Electron as my everyday kicks. Highly recommend!

Not true to size you would be better off ordering a size larger and the width says Medium but its more like narrow. Being that this is the only width they offer "Medium", if you don't have a narrow foot this shoe is not for you.

Best sneakers ever! I know this is supposed to be a trail running shoe, but I just wanted something for the city that could still take things like snow and rain. I have yet to wait for snow, but they handle rain like a champ. Yes, they will still get wet eventually, but it takes way longer than your average sneakers. Very comfortable. The sole is something out of this world. This rubber doesn't slip on almost any surface, no matter dry or wet. You can practically feel it stick to it, and the effect doesn't go away with use. Overall, the best sneakers I've ever owned.

Bought these boots because I was in need of a lightweight ground boot; a lot of high reviews on these and they're all right, best out of the box boot I think I've ever worn. Tried the Hoffman Hiker, sent them back. They work the same if not better than my Wesco's on my hooks and steps. I never had a boot where if you can put your toe on it you can climb it. Shank and ankle support are excellent. Toe is not steel, but it does have a hardened toe box. If your work involves utility work and poles you gotta have a pair on your truck.

Fantastic trail running/light hiking shoe. Excellent cushioning and grip, lightweight and breathable. Have a pair and am getting another.

I bought these from Zappos because they had the full range of sizes. I normally wear a 46 in European shoes, these are a 48 and are perfect. Great shoes, comfortable right out of the box. Very grippy and good for boulder hopping, rock scrambling, and rock climbing.I also like the look of these!

Had these shoes a little over a year ago and then bought the Crosslite 2 version but didn't like them as much as they had more midsole making me feel higher off the ground. Had to go back to these originals and love them...feel more grounded flying on the trails. :)

These felt sturdy and stiff out of the box like boots that will last. I read meters for a utility and love Timberland's comfort and durability, but have yet to find a pair that maintain water resistance against wet grass. So far these goretex lined boots have kept the feet dry. I will update this as time goes on. They feel like boots of top quality.

Shoe is just as good as I had hoped it to be. I normally use the Lasportiva Crosslite 2.0 and got this one to run on hard pack trails and rocks with its less aggressive lugs. These shoes have never given me a bit of blistering. I have to wear thin socks as the toe box is narrow.

These are my second pair of climbing shoes and I absolutely love them. My feet are long and narrow, and I love the way I can pull the laces around my foot and heel. These smear well and they're perfect for someone like me, who spends frequent time in the rock gym and wants shoes not to be agonizingly painful. They are snug without hurting.

After 20 years I have finally found the perfect slippers. They are comfortable, precise, have great edging and pointing, straight out of the box. Definitely go half to a full size down from normal Sportiva size.

These are great shoes. My second pair. And I plan on continuing to buy them as long as they are available. Great hiking shoes. Great construction work shoe. Great comfortable casual all around shoe. 100% satisfied.

This shoe fits like a glove from the toes to your arch. The heel on the other hand has tons of space. I foot is narrow. I purchased a size and a half down from my street size. They were very painful to wear for the first month of climbing in them (about 4 days a week for 3 hours) But after they wear in they are quite nice. The styling is great too. The extra wide velcro area as good for getting that perfect fit around your arch. My only complaint is all the extra space in the heel. So if you are looking for something that heel hooks well this is not your best pick. If I were to buy them again I would go one full size down from my street shoe.

I picked these shoes up for a canyoneering trip through various landscapes. The terrain ranged from gravel, boulders, and scree to creek crossings, mud and log scrambling. These shoes worked like a charm. The outsole really functions as the technology intends; the very soft PU almost hugs uneven ground and provides cushioning at the same time. And the traction was surprisingly good given that there is barely a hard edge on the bottom! The mesh drains and dries fast, which is extremely helpful with 10 creek crossings a day, and the gritty screen prints helped prevent tearing the of the material. The toe bumper provided excellent protection from the inevitable rock kick and the scree collar kept sand out. It was the perfect all-in-one shoe for the job!
