Amazing Hiking Boots - Just Runs VERY Small
Yes , I recommend this product
I normally wear a size 7/7.5 in sneakers, 7 in heels, and 7.5/8 in hiking boots, depending on the fit. I first ordered the EU size 38.5, because I own Merrell Speed Solo Mid Waterproof hiking boots in US size 8 (EU size 38.5). The sizing chart for La Sportiva also reflects that EU size 38.5 is equal to US size 7.5. However, it was way too small -- even smaller than my normal size 7 sneakers when I compared the two side-by-side, and my toes were crunched up against the front of the shoes. So, I ordered the EU size 39.5, 40, and 40.5. I ended up keeping the EU size 40, which is a whole 1.5 size up from what was recommended. When I looked on Reddit, others also sized 1 to 1.5 up from their normal sizing, and I wish I looked into that more before originally ordering the 38.5 size. When I compare the EU size 40 La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 GTX hiking shoes to the US size 8 Merrell Speed Solo Mid Waterproof hiking boots, they are equivalent in size. Hope this helps future buyers consider which size to order. I really love the comfort of these shoes, and it is quite stable all around. Love that it is waterproof as well.

Headed to Mount Blanc
I am going to hike around Mount Blanc in France in September and was looking to a good light shoe with support, cushion in the heel and good soles. I found it in this shoe. It is perfect. The insole really keeps my foot from rolling over or tripping. I look forward to hiking everywhere this summer in the mountains of Colorado.
