Customer Reviews La Sportiva Unika

I am not a mountain climber, but was in search of a durable waterproof sneaker that could take my abuse. I live out in the country side, but do not like to wear boots. The Unika is the most comfortable shoe I have ever owned and it does feel like a glove. I can feel my feet gripping the ground and they are very comfortable.

This shoe felt absolutely fantastic on my wide-ish foot with very high arch. Like walking on a cloud. Wonderful! Once they were on. But getting them on was no easy task!! I already have some minimal New Balance that I love that are hard to get on (though not as hard as this) and I don't wear them on days that I know I will have to have them on and off several times, so I regretfully pass on these.

This shoe looked really cute, but was too snug in the toe box area. I could tell that it wouldn't be comfortable for wearing a long time. Maybe for running or walking it would be fine since motion helps with blood flow, but I often walk somewhere and then sit and enjoy the place, and given the snugness these are not sitting shoes.

I found these to be very uncomfortable.
