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.

New version makes my feet happy!
10 months ago
This updated version has sizes in wide. So I got a 38.5 instead of the normal 38 and much more comfortable than the older version which I returned because it seemed too stiff, and tight. I switched out the insoles with the low arch super feet and so far I have happy feet! And this updated version is so comfortable that I was tempted to buy the non waterproof version, but the colors are too loud and unpleasant to look at. Like another reviewer said, bring in some neutral colors pleasing to look at without the colors clashing at each other. Like a shoe that has one or two colors instead of five that don't blend or compliment each other! That's enough for me to avoid buying it. Interestingly REI sells this Gortex version in one pleasing color that is not offered on the manufacturer's website which are horrible looking! Thank you REI for selling this pleasing color!

I have low-volume feet with a large, arthritic bunion on one foot. Despite ordering this shoe in a WIDE width, it is way too snug in both the mid and forefoot. Returning immediately.

Stiff and narrow

Extremely stiff and uncomfortable. Ordered in wide size and still a narrow footbed. Took back.

Great trail hikers for wider feet
1 week ago
Kudos to La Sportiva for making serious trail hikers/runners for wider feet vs just comfort shoe brands. Had great luck with their boots so got these for summer hiking. First 5-mile hike in varied terrain, no rubbing, no blisters and great grip. Want to buy more for back-ups when these wear out.

Perfect! With troubling feet, I found these shoes give me the proper comfortable fit. This model comes in a wide without being a WIDE shoe. A nice wide toe box. And surprisingly cushy sole. I do use superfeet as insoles. Works well as a hiker and street shoe. Tread is great, wears very well.
