This is a great shoe I’m on my second pair.Seller needs to put product in a box when shipping. I received this product and the box was damaged. I'm returning these shoes because they're too small...too tight for my feet. The size says 8.5, but fits like a 7.5. They look great though - I love the color and design.Very nice shoes, but almost tight for no reason. These shoes remind me of how tight football cleats are. These may be too tight for intended purposes, but will be fine as casual wear as long as it's not for longGreat seller great product arrived faster than expected. Exactly as stated. Will be hitting the swampy trails here in Florida right away!Love the shoes. Never had a Lasportiva, but its well made surprisingly stylish, very comfortable. I have flat feet and it gives me sturdy support for my arch. Very very happy with.I love these shoes, order yours a half size bigger. I should have returned them for a larger size, but I will order another pair, just a half size larger than I normally do.I really wanted to like these shoes because I felt based on all the online descriptions they were going to be perfect for the type of trail running I do. Its mostly a mix of running and hiking on generally steep, dry, rugged trails that we have here in southern california. So i wanted a durable shoe, that had superb grip going up and down steep inclines.The sole on this shoe is super grippy. But because its so grippy im almost certain they would not last long. Very soft rubber sole, and the small nubs on the lugs are great for grip, but i could already tell after a few miles they would not last for long.So yeah the grip was great, but the reason for ending up having to return these was the poor fit, on my feet at least. They were okay width wise and length wise, (i normally wear a size 11.5 and ordered a 12-- was still maybe a little too small for a hiking/trail running shoe- if i had to do it all over again and the fit issue i had with them was non-existent i would have gotten a 12,5). BUT something was definitely off in the heel. I have a slight case of overpronation, but for some reason i felt these shoes really added to that. After around 2 miles, i already started forming blisters on the inside of my ankle. Further, my feet felt extremely tired and sore, and the front of my ankle, right at the area where the shin connects to the foot was extremely sore. Not sure if it was a mix of how stiff the shoe was, the tight heel counter or what, but that was the first time my feet felt that way from just walking a couple miles (wasnt even a trail with any incline, just straight and flat).Would give 2.5 stars if I could, but because of the grip and potential for better fit on someone elses foot ill give it 3I have had La Sportiva shoes in the past and on me i wear a size 9.5 in other shoes, but 10 in these. Really well built shoe!Brilliant shoe. Couldn't be better.I have very wide feet, so I went for half size up, and all good. Fantastic build quality! Very happyDopo averle usate per un anno e averci fatto 500km o quacosina in più, posso dire che sono delle buone scarpe per trekking e escursionismo non troppo tecnico (io le ho usate sulla Via degli Dei e la Via Francigena).Hanno un ottimo grip su qualsiasi terreno, ma dopo 400km iniziano ad avere qualche problemino e a 500 bisogna cambiarle.Ottimo supporto al piede e zero dolori, mi hanno fatto venire qualche vescica, ma per me è normale e mi capita con qualsiasi scarpa.Le ho usare un po' prima di recensirle, sono leggerissime, ma molto protettive. L'estetica è soggettiva, ma a me piacciono. I piedi sono ben aerati e sembrano solide. Ho dato una spruzzata di impermeabilizzante (non sono in Goretex) giusto per una pioggerellina e tengono.Il piede è bene ammortizzato sia per la camminata che per la corsa. Anche tenute ai piedi diverse ore non fanno male e non stancano. Il grip è buono dappertutto tranne che sul liscio e bagnato, tipo il marmo dove si scivola. Tutto sommato ottimo prodotto.He usado otro par de zapatillas del mismo modelo y marca que estas de aquí, por lo que el análisis que hago es referente a las usadas, no GTX. Las he usado tanto para hacer etapas del Camino de Santiago (junto con las botas, a modo de descanso) así como para entrenamientos y marchas rápidas de marcha nórdica; en total 43 sesiones y 840 Kms recorridos, en cuanto a tiempo de uso sobre 6 Kms/Hora, unas 150 horas, probablemente puedan llegar a 900 kms, reservándolas para sesiones con poco kilometraje ahora que ya están rotas (y no hay posibilidad de repararlas) así como empiezan a hundirse en la zona interior. Es ideal para colocar unos gaiters que van a permitir rechazar pequeñas piedras y arena que puedan entrar en las zapatillas. Las plantillas que vienen son duraderas. Otro pequeño detalle -para mi importante- son las punteras de goma, que protegen los dedos del pie. La primera sesión que hice fué de 19 Kms y todo fué comodidad -jamás me ha pasado con ninguna de las otras marcas que he usado. En cuanto a duración, se rompen, no son eternas como ponen otros comentarios, por eso he incluido lo de las sesiones y kms para que os podáis hacer una idea de su duración,
