Most excellent products.

I bought these six years ago and have worn them more than any other shoe or boot I own. The ones I bought were a beautiful light green that I hated to cover with snow seal but I did for function over fashion. I have recommended these boot to many and am going to replace them with a second pair after six years have remained extremely comfortable but showing wear so time to get the next set. I also have two pairs of the yellow mountaineering boots with removable liners and a pair of the black stretch cleated training shoes. This company makes great products !

A true off road spectacle

Solid boots. Finally a pair of climbers that doesn't kill my feet to hike in. I was skeptical at first about a loose heel cup (crossing over from the Salomon line), but the leather really takes to the user after a couple hikes. These are genuinely good, all around mountain boots. Might need insoles.

Great work boot

I am a lineman that climbs wood and steel regularly. These have by far been the best investment I have made. They are also comfortable. I will by these for now on won’t climb in anything else.

Just not the quality product of the past

Just finished my 3rd pair in 5 years. The heel cup breaks down quickly , and the lining wears through quickly. My heels did not lock in , like the Malala’s I have had in the past . I wish lasportiva would return to the quality of the past.

Best work boot

These boots have been the best pair I've ever had. 2 years of line work and they still have alot of life left. Wish they had protective toe.

Climbing boots

I use them for work. Perfect for walking in harsh terrain and climbing poles. They were not hard to break In at all.
