Sizing Notes
For boots: Add one half size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters.

Great shoe overall, could use a touch more padding
Yes , I recommend this product
Just bought this last week and took it out on my first hike today. I’d definitely say these are more hiking shoes than trail runners, as these wouldn’t have enough padding for running. Even for hiking the insole is a bit thin - wish it was a bit thicker for more shock absorption, which is why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 (might try an aftermarket insole to improve the comfort). Otherwise the outsole is very grippy on rocks and fallen trees, and the lugs are fairly deep so you can have a lot of traction on muddy trails. The lacing system works great, didn’t come loose at all during my hike. Sizing wise, I usually wear a size 12, sometimes 12.5, and for these I needed to get the size 13 (47), so I’d say they run a bit small. I have narrow feet so these worked really well for me. Overall highly recommend it for hiking, just confirm that the insole provides enough comfort for you.

Now too narrow in the heel
No, I do not recommend this product
The toe box is roomier than the last version, but the heel is narrower, too narrow. If they come out with a wide version I may try it. Years and years of great fitting shoes and now I'm down to only the Wildcats that fit and while a great shoe they don't stand up to abuse. Overall, La Sportiva has lost their way.

Use these for walking trails
Yes , I recommend this product
Great shoe. A bit too stiff for my liking but as is the rest of my La Sportiva shoes I’ve had over the years, excellent construction and long lasting.
