Comments about La Sportiva Omega GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

I've put 40+ miles on these boots so far and I'm quite satisfied. I bought some active sport sole inserts too that have made a noticeable difference in comfort (especially no sliding, so, no blisters). The bottom shoe string hook loops 'lock' into place, so, once you find the right tension they stay put. I like this feature to ensure the boots don't separate away from my feet. REI fitted me really well so I can comfortably curl my toes while climbing and descending rugged trails. They are rigged and tough yet very comfortable.

These boots are waterproof too which is a feature I wasn't much concerned with since I tend to sweat a lot especially when its warm weather. However, after crossing over 20 streams of up to the height of the boot as well as marching through many yards of sticky mud I'm very glad they are waterproof. With some short gators capping these boots I traversed sections of the trails that others avoided at all costs and even got temporarily stuck in.

I considered several other makes that Backpacking magazine recommended and REI has. These were mentioned as a 'top gear' item I think after I had already bought them. They aren't cheap but so far are very much worth it. I don't anticipate returning them even with REI's excellent member returns option. I have strong feet and legs but my feet are soft despite the outdoor activity I have. Getting shoes that protect them as you need when backpacking while performing well is what I needed for my BSA troop's monthly backpacking trips (plus other trips) as well as our upcoming 2 week trip this summer.

Comments about La Sportiva Omega GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

These boots felt great right out of the box! No blisters or agitated feet on my first hike (a 6 mile loop with my 28 lbs son on my back). Very lightweight for the foot and ankle support these boots provided. I was able to wade through ankle high water without any water penetration. the sole is durable with just the right amount of cushion. these are the best hiking boots I've ever owned!

These are very comfortable hiking boots, with good support. My feet are hard to fit, with a low arch and pronation. Most boots hurt, and these do not.

Comments about La Sportiva Omega GTX Hiking Boots - Men's:

Just bought these and they were the last shoe they brought out for me to try and glad they did. You ever tried on a shoe and went to foot heaven. This was the shoe for me. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit and do not hurt my right foot toes do to squeeze. I have a problem with flat feet and a toe on my right foot and as soon as I put these shoes on, I knew they were the correct pair. Wore them for 8 hours with no pain. If a shoe does not fit right, I will have pain in about 2 hours. They are light and have great traction. Have not tried them with my backpack but the ankle support is awesome. Cannot wait for next weekend to hit the trail. I also tried on Vasque, Asolo, Oboz, and Lowa and none seemed to fit and I knew would hurt my feet.
