La Sportiva

The shoes are great. I just got back from Red Rocks and I loved them. They are not the most aggressive shoe but definitely okay to climb 5.11's and 12's in. Very comfortable. Definitely should go down a size of actual foot size for sure.

I bought a pair of these a year ago - fantastic fit, comfortable and stiff in all the right ways. If Jesus made shoes, these would be the very ones.

Awesome! My second pair. Left first pair in Hawaii home when I visit. Shoe is a little heavy and bulky so I didn't want to lug it around in luggage. I had first pair for almost 10 years so the sole were worn a little, but just a little so decided to get new shoes. Loved it so much I got another pair. Fits like a glove, waterproof and tough. Exactly what I was looking for in a shoe for mountaineering, daily use. For me it is so comfortable that I wear it daily if I am not trail running, at a business meeting or going out to some place fancy. This years models has little improvements from several years ago. Like the front protection on top of the boot, removeable cushioned tongue and "ball bearing" lace eyelets. I am used to its stiffness and weight that I don't notice it much. Probably getting another pair in case they stop making it so I'll have these shoes for the rest of my life... I have not tried them with crampon so I can't comment on that but I believe it would be fine. I do get buzzed a lot going through metal detectors though.

As a firefighter who has used these boots I must say, these boots will not hold up in any sort of fire related environment. I used the boots for basic firefighting procedures. It did not last for more than three fires. I do not recommend buying this boot if you are a firefighter. This boot needs more attention before going to fires. The company product, warranty and service does not compliment this specialty boot. I have had a terrible experience with this company and its products.

Outstanding shoe for running in snow or wet. It's sort of bizarre that no one came up with this design earlier. I've used it for playing other sports and found there's enough lateral support as well. Bizarre sizing though - very small. Probably best to order two sizes larger than you might normally.

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.
