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.

Better than Hokas.
10 months ago
I am a fan of Hoka and always have two pairs, rotating them throughout the years. But these shoes supersede Hokas in every respect. I tried these Raptors on in the store, and walked around for about half an hour, fully expecting them to start hurting. They were so comfortable that I couldn’t believe it. My theory is that shoes should never have to be “broken in “. They should feel good immediately. I walk and run in them every day for hours. I don’t look forward to taking them off, as is usually the case. Hard for me to believe that I found better shoes than Hokas.

Run Small!
8 months ago
I was so excited to try these after reading reviews. They sounded perfect for comfort and being waterproof. Loved how light they felt and the look when I pulled them from the box. However, they run probably a full size short. I wear a 7, always, but in these my toes hit the front and they definitely were not wide enough. Sadly I have to return them.

Painful to ankles
1 year ago
The area around the ankle is stiff and too high and was digging in and around my ankle bones on hikes. I was so sad because the previous year's version of this shoe was my favorite sneaker. I held them side by side and noticed La Sportive has made that area higher on this model. Stiff and not as good. Unfortunately had to return, thanks REI for your generous return policy.
