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.

Handled Kodiak like a champ!
Anonymous4 years ago
Fit was great. Weight was light. Laces let you tighten them up well. No rubbing and good ankle support. I used these elk hunting on Afognak island with absolutely no complaints hiking up and down mountains in the rain and through streams.
Only downside- I used them to go rabbit hunting (light walking). The second lace loop (plastic piece) snapped somehow. Less than three weeks of use. Incredible b lot otherwise from a guy that loved Salomon GTX III for years.

Very uncomfortable
Kid K4 years ago
I have narrow feet and a high instep; these boots fit reasonably well. They seemed like nice, light, stable boots - until, after half an hour of walking, one of the eyelets started digging hard into my ankle. It was intensely uncomfortable. The synthetic upper is so thin that it offers no protection from the boot's own eyelets. I had to return them; they would never work.

Look great, but hurt my feet
4 years ago
Walking around the house and the neighborhood these were very comfortable. Then I started with a couple of small hikes and then I climbed Mt. Thielsen. After a few miles of hiking with a 20-30 pound pack the outsides of my feet started to ache. I tried re-lacing and adding a second pair of socks but by the time we were on the way down my feet hurt so bad I couldn't walk normal. I had to stop every once in a while to take them off so my feet could relax. After that trip I bought a better pair of insoles and went on an easy 4 mile hike in the McKenzie River area and the same feeling came back. I never had any blisters or hotspots, just foot pain. The traction and waterproofness of these are great, just not a good fit for me. Had to return.

Comfortable, light, dries quickly
4 years ago
8 months and counting of nearly daily use in the Atlantic rainforest in Brazil. I find these boots to be a good balance of light weight without compromising much on structure / support. Waterproofing is good; handle mud well. In a downpour without gaiters water will get in (like any boot), but these dry more quickly than I had expected, even without much sun. The soles seem to be wearing down slightly faster than past vibrams - to be fair I'm putting these through the wringer, but I don't think they'll last another 8 months. Solid boot - I'll probably buy another pair to replace these in a few months. I typically wear a 10.5 and the 44 fits well.

Boot are still a good option for Backpacking
4 years ago
I recently had a really bad ankle injury while backpacking. I stepped on a root and my ankle twisted inwards causing me to fall. As a result, I decided to go back to a boot that has ankle support. This is after many years of hiking with trail running type shoes (no ankle support). Being an older hiker, I felt this was a better option. The great thing about this boot is that it is almost as light as my trail runners!

High Quality Boots, Made for Almost Anything
4 years ago
Somehow these boots manage to be relatively light weight, very supportive and comfortable. I usually wear a size 11.5 - 12 and ordered a size 46 for heavy duty backpacking. I have relatively long and low volume feet, so take that into consideration. I can see where the rubber rand on the side of the boots will help extend the life of the boots and in a pinch I might be able to do a small amount of scrambling / low angle rock climbing should the setting require it. I went through around 4-6 boots to find these for my trip and they are definitely the best option so far.

I've dreamed about this shoe
5 years ago
There is a hike I do often that has quite rugged terrain with frequent stream crossings. Avoiding the stream is tricky and it is often easier to wade through the stream in sandals. I have dreamed of a waterproof hiking boot where I can keep my feet dry going straight through the stream and handle the rough rocky terrain without frequent changes in footwear. The TXS GTX does the job beautifully. It dries out pretty quick in the event I make a mistake and step too deep into the river and water floods in. The TX lineup offers a great blend of handling occasional scrambling/climbing terrain and offering comfort on flatter terrain. The rubber is very grippy on rock. There is not much noticeable wear after about a dozen times out.

Good hiking boot but Is NOT Waterproof!!!
5 years ago
I did about a 15 mile hike yesterday at about 11-12,000 ft. About 5 hours in I got stuck in a very very bad rain storm / monsoon for about 4-5hrs at 46°F. I had to keep taking shelter under big pines that had dry patches on the ground. The boots are absolutely not waterproof! My feet and weight socks were pretty damp/wet when I got back to base camp, a day and a half later the boots are still damp even though I tried to dry them (clothes where still wet too when I woke up). My rain gear (frogg togg gtx pants&jacket) failed me big time also(was soaked head to toe). So my 1 month hiking/camping adventure has been postponed because I can't hike for the next 3+ weeks in wet gear. Not sure what to do here... Comfy boots though.

Awesome hiking boot!!

My every day walk-about is a Merrell, and the Moab 2 is tremendous for the average hiker. The La Sportiva is a step above for severe and intense hiking, and I wouldn’t trade em for the world!

Like wearing trail runners

My favorite boot so far. Great in sloppy snow, on muddy trails or climbing over rocky terrain. They are light weight and still protective. I like the wide toe box.

Great boot but uppers wear/break down too fast
3 years ago
I destroyed a pair of these in only 1 and a half hiking seasons, and I don’t think the use was anything crazy or extreme. I specifically just saved them for my high Sierra high trips. Multiple 3 to 9 day trips with a 20-40lbs backpack depending on the trip. Some trail, and lots of off trail, granite talus-hopping, and high Sierra alpine walking and scrambling. The sticky soles are a dream in the high Sierra granite. Was always 100% confident in class 2/3 passes, cols, and technical traverses with a backpack, when a slip would have been bad. For how soft the rubber is, it didn’t wear down too quickly! The rest of the boot did, before the tread even got low. The cushion is great at first and carries a heavy load with comfort. Fairly quickly though the cushion goes flat and can begin the feel the impact of the pack weights over harsh and rocky terrain much more than when they were plush and new. Like walking on air when they are new! I’m also not a huge fan of the Gore-Tex. Sure it keeps my feet dry, until they sweat from being too hot. Then I find myself taking off my boots often to cool/dry out my feet. I can keep my own feet out of water, I want something that doesn’t make my feet overheat. Wish they made a non waterproof version. I’d buy it. Anyway, this is the perfect lightweight, technical, hike/scramble with a load, boot. Unfortunately the cushion flattens and the uppers breakdown quickly, especially around where the boot creases at the big toe/ball of the foot. Can’t really repair that. This is my second pair, with the same failure in the same spot, on both boots. 3.5\5 stars, but I’ll round up. Would recommend but also hope LS makes some improvements in future models. Also, please make a non Gore-Tex version.
