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.

Everything I wanted in a trail runner/hiking shoe!
2 years ago
I have a narrow foot and read that La Sportiva was a good shoe for women with narrow feet. I wanted a hiking shoe, not a boot, with waterproofing if possible. The Paramus NJ salesman I had recommended a trail runner rather than a hiking shoe. This trail runner is also made for hiking and has more cushioning than the equivalent hiking boot, making it more comfortable to me. Although not narrow, i can tie the shoe tight enough that my foot does not swim in the shoe. And it is waterproof. I don't love the color, and wish there were other color options (but after hiking once the beet color is dusty now and not as vivid!). So I bit the bullet and paid more than I normally do to get everything I wanted.

Not for me

Shucks! I purchased the GTX version of the Ultra Raptor after having worn three pairs of the non-Gortex ones, so am confident I know my size. And I know the Ultra Raptor, or though I did until these, which I have decided to return. I wear these for hiking on trails and long-distance walking (10-14 mi/day). I am disappointed in the GTX version, although the same size as the other ones I’ve worn out, these seem to run small and they are narrow so I’m not confident even sizing up would do. I will instead go back to the Saucony Peregrine GTX, another of my go-to shoes for long hikes and walks and every day wear.

Happy, dry and warm feet!

I got these for winter trail running after too many cold toes runs! On their trial trail run this morning they kept my feet warm and dry through the slush and ice. Good fit, plenty of toe room and nice arch support. Looking forward to more great winter trail runs in our fickle New Hampshire winter conditions!
