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 were just delivered a few days ago. These look great and they fit like a glove. There is plenty of room in the toe box, which I was not expecting. The lacing is a bit difficult at first but I played around a bit and now have a fit. The only thing that is a bit difficult is just putting these things on. They are a bit tight even with the top laces loosened. But once you are in they are nice and snug. They are also very sticky on the bottom, which you want!

I liike these shoes so much, I bought a second pair in case they stop making them. I use them as turf shoes for ultimate frisbee. Traction is fine for hard ground, but cleats are necessary for soft fields. They are light, but not tight and narrow like ultra-light cleats. The only problem with having two pairs is that I once packed two right shoes in my gym bag. I could do without the giant logo on the side.

Big fan of these Crosslites. Super lightweight and minimalist for trail running. Not much in the way of ankle support, but incredible grip and comfortable soles.

I do not know what I will do if they ever stop making these shoes. They make me feel like Mercury with my winged shoes. I do have slim feet (not overly so, just an old-fashioned B) and these are the perfect slippers. I do trail runs three times a week, on gnarly, wet, tree-root-laden paths, and I never fall down in these, which was always my concern before. I also run on tracks, street, and beaches. I just love them.

These are the absolute best shoe for minimalist trail runners. They provide the most traction and grippiness I've found on such a light shoe. I will continue to buy these shoes until they no longer make them. I've got over 200 miles on my first pair and I've already ordered a second pair. I have to say, with 200 miles on them they're still not even close to beginning to wear out or break down. Solid shoe with superior construction. I'll be running a trail marathon in them this winter and a 50k in the spring.

No more New Balance shoes. La Sportiva exceeded my expectations as I needed a sturdy shoe to walk to the subway in cold snowy Chicago weather. The shoe virtually lifts your feet and the arch support is fantastic. Got a second pair and alternate so I don\'t wear them out. Lots of "admiring" stares from fellow commuters! Just awesome. Great also at the gym while weightlifting, etc.

Excellent trail running shoe. Lightweight shoe more on the minimalist end of trail shoes. Low volume, wide forefoot. Low to the ground and flexible to allow me to feel the trail but with enough material underfoot to keep me from getting rock bruises. Lug sole is excellent for providing traction without collecting mud. Lacing system is a bit odd to get adjusted the first time around, but once adjusted was fine. I have incredibly flat feet and find their insole supportive enough for up to 4 miles, but use a custom orthotic for mileage over that. The lugs feel a little funky on pavement, but that's not what these shoes are for. Size conversion chart is off. I wear a women's 8 running shoe and a 38 in these. Happier in these than the Fireblades which had a similar fit but were more supportive, heavier, and had less traction.

Bought this as replacement for Brooks Cascadia. Fit is much better. Perfect trail shoe. I could go on, but really, I got these shoes because they look cool.

These shoes are awesome! They are well made and provide moderate arch support. I bought them for trail running but now I wear them everywhere because they are so comfortable. They provide great stability and support for my extremely flat feet. However, I did find that they definitely run a full size smaller than marked. Still, I will definitely buy this brand again!

These shoes rule my life! They were my first TRUE trail shoes so maybe I'm a little biased but I can tell you this that after using them at least 10 times now I couldn't be more happy! I have a more normal or narrow foot as compared to a guy with wider feet and these bad boys fit me nice and snug! Of course I bought a size bigger to keep my toes from smashing into the front on downhills, and the shoe is completely snug the whole time. There's also a lot of washed out and very slippery downhills and the cleats on these shoes have grabbed hold of every one! I love love LOVE these shoes!

Great shoe for what I use it for. Fast starts & stops, plus it's extremely comfortable. If a good cleat and comfortable sock met a bar, and had a baby, this would be the result! I just hope it lasts...I'm hard on these types of footwear.

These shoes are great. I am taking Naturalist classes through my local extension office and the people in this group commented on how good they look. Plus, they are so comfortable & a great Walk/Run shoe too. These were my first pair of LaSportiva would definitely buy from this company again.

Fantastic shoe. Super comfortable and light weight. Wearing these on a few technical trail runs recently and they feel like wearing a light as air comfy slipper, if slippers came with dirt, mud and snow gripping cleats. I can't get myself to lose my feet from underneath me, they get grab the trail and don't let go.
