Great potential with poor design
No, I do not recommend this product
These shoes run small, requiring upsizing one full size. They feel snug and secure, instilling a sense of stability and protection. The toe box size is just right. After many miles of breaking them in and hiking in Yosemite, I can attest to their excellent grip (both dry and wet granite), but the heel is so narrow and rigid that I ended up with sore heels and a blister. Also, the inner membrane on the top of one shoe separated from the outer gore-tex fabric, touching the top of the foot with every step, unlike the other shoe (not a big deal but annoying due to asymmetric feel). All in all - could have been a fantastic shoe but ruined by poor heel design. Bummed.

Runs small
Yes , I recommend this product
Haven’t had a chance to put them through the wringer yet, but I’ve worn La Sportiva hiking shoes for years always in a size 42. But the toe box in these is short and had to go up a full size to a 43.
