  • Makalus Rock!
Size: 14 Color: Natural 2
Exceptional Quality and absolutely the most comfortable boots I’ve owned. I’d buy them again over and over.

  • Excellent boots
Size: 10.5-11 Color: Natural 2
Very heavy duty boots. Great for serious back packing in various terrains. These run wide and not good for narrow feet.

Mak's = Awesome I've worn some boots in my days trudging around this pale blue dot we call Earth, but nothing to date compares to my Makalu's. These boots can take a lickin' better than Muhammad Ali. Be sure to throw in some Superfeet REDhot Trim-to-Fit (7100) Mens Cold Weather Insoles Shoe and your feet will stay nice and toasty. Of course, these boots need more than just insoles, leather, and rubber...you definitely need a thick wool Wigwam pair of socks to round it all out. Now down to the nitty gritty: these boots have full shanks, so the sole is stiff...as it should be. If you plan on doing light hiking in these, I suppose you can, but plan on probably being unhappy with the lack of flex and light weight. I have hiked trails with <20lb pack, but then again, I was in the USMC and when people complain about "heavy" boots, I laugh. These boots aren't that heavy, in my opinion. There is a significant break-in period...+/- 50 miles. On sizing...I wear an average US size 10, but with these boots I sized up to EU 44 for two reasons, extra room for 2 pairs of socks, and I also have bunions from the crappy boots I wore for years in the Marine Corps. I started with size 43, pinched too much and my toes could feel the end of the boot...so I went a whole size up which is roughly 2/6" larger from 43 to 44. The key point is that I wear thick socks and more than one pair...normally a liner plus thick hiking sock. No complaints. However, if I were to attempt just a liner sock...i would be close to swimming in empty space. If you plan on humping a heavy pack, kicking steps in snow, and/or wearing crampons for technical ascents...then these are your boots. La Sportiva is legendary in their craftsmanship, and these boots carry on that standard of quality. Only unknown is whether you can get up icefalls with these bad boys. My guess is it is doable since these are a great all-around mountaineering boot. ... show more

  • Not steel toe, but great boots
Size: 10.5-11 Color: Natural 2
I'm use to wearing walmart boots. When I put these boots on they actually feel like they are helping me walk. Very comfortable feel like my feet are protected.

  • I loved these boots
Size: 14 Color: Natural 2
I worked at a ski resort in Utah. I wore these boots all winter. My feet stayed dry, and the ankle support was amazing. This year some of the resorts in Utah had 800 inches. I used snow seal and appreciated the traction these boots provided on steep decents. They are great mountaineering boots. Thank's LA Sportiva. ... show more

  • Great boot
My brother talked me into a pair of these for hunting. I was sceptical after reading the reviews as I wear White’s boots for work and every day use. Being that they are custom made I wasn’t sure what to expect with the La Sportiva boots. I ordered a half size larger after talking to my brother about his and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. I haven’t had a boot that is this waterproof and warm. Now that they’re breaking in, they’re more and more comfortable with a good arch support and ankle support. I’m looking forward to hunting season ... show more

  • Great Boots!
Awesome boots, only had these for 1.5 years but they where put through the ringer with daily hiking and hole digging. The break in period took a week or so and where pretty tight and uncomfortable but after that, perfectly fine. Only bought another pair because I wore the treads out. These things are like putting mud terrain tires on your feet. ... show more

  • Absolute junk.
Size: 11 Color: Natural 2
Ordered these hoping they’d be comfortable and long lasting. Wore them for three weeks and the leather just ripped. Climbed in them twice. Never got caught on anything that should of ripped them like this.
