Good shoes, but pricey.
Wow, what a shoe. I put them on and didn't want to take them off. Can't wait till the holidays to get out and use them.
I have been wearing these pretty much constantly since buying them 2 weeks ago. I may never take them off. They’ve replaced a pair of Salomon GTX shoes (which were more expensive) that fell apart after 2 years. I reckon these La Sportivas are superior by a long shot.
Great shoes. Has tons of grip. Would recommend for a colder climate! The high top boot version is also great.
Excellent shoe. Sturdy feel. Very comfortable. If you're an outdoors person you'll practically live in these.
