La Sportiva Men's Karakorum Leather Boots for Hiking, Mountaineering, Backpacking & Outdoor Work

Boots are true to size and are great to wear

These boots were true to size for me. I typically wear a size 10 in crispi, whites, etc. these fit nicely out of the box and were really comfortable. Put a pair of sheep feet insoles in and there golden :)

Two years of tree work in the Pacific Northwest and my feet have never been wet in these

Good quality! I didn’t feel like they needed to be ‘broken’ in, very comfortable. Would purchase again, worth the money!

I am comparing these to my previous boot. I had a pair of Zamberland boots that I hiked glaciers in Montana. I hiked the Continental divide. I hiked parts of the Appalachian trail. I hiked in Waterton Park Canada. I hiked in the mountains of Mexico and I wore those boots everyday for work. I figured I would try another pair of fine Italian boots. For starters, why are they not waterproof for the price? Second, once you wax them the color changes, and not for the better. I really do like the fit and finish of these boots and hope they last and keep my feet dry.

I mainly purchased these for their quality as well as their looks. I would use them for real ridge hiking maybe twice a year, but sometimes I'll just wear them with a nice pair of jeans for cold weather days. As soon as I pulled them out of the box I could see the huge quality difference between these and my old Bears that they are replacing. Bears are still great but the Karakorums look like they could survive a bomb blast. The Vibram soles look indestructible. I can't wait for some real snow to test them out. I'm normally a USA size 7 1/2 to 8 and read that you should order a half size larger. I chose size 41 because they are closest to USA size 8 1/2. Tried them on with the socks I normally wear and bulls eye, perfect fit. Color is true to what I saw on the Amazon site, more olive than green which actually works better, you don't wanna be the guy walking around the street with green boots. Just got them; have yet to put them through the paces but right out of the box they are nice.

Well this boot came early and right out of the box you can tell it is well made and ready for the desert hike. Supper craftsmanship!! Regrettably I had to return the boots, they are built for a more narrow foot formation. even when I ordered them a hole size larger. I wear 43.5 and when I 44.5 they fit well and comfortable enough to wear around as a daily shoe, but anyone that has done serious hiking ( the reason your buying this shoe ) knows that your feet swell. After about 5 or six mile of a 15 mile hike with a 38 pound pack my feet will swell and the shoes will no longer be comfortable, they will be crippling. This boot doesn't have a water proof Gortex linear, and it probably ideal for desert hiking in more dry climates or say minimal river and water crossing or have some good gators and water proofing rub to put on them. I hiked the the Camino in Spain last year and there is enough rain and water that this boot would not have been my choice, rather I walked the path in my Asolo 520s.

Christmas gift for my son he loved him. This is his second pair little costly.

Compré 11 USM pero resultó ser como un 27 cm
