10.10.2024I just ordered a second pair
I have these shoes for the last 2 years, using them mostly to hike my local mountains in northern Croatia and Slovenia and some super-sharp-rocky mountains and hills on Dalmatian coast (those sharp rocks do destroy everything quickly so I would recommend proper mountaineering shoes for Dalmatia, but these got me by, and they did not get destroyed in 50 or so km that I walked around). After 2 years of using them I took them to Iceland and they worked there flawlessly! We hiked every day and there were sometimes 5 rain showers a day. They did remain comfortable and dry all that time. They are not warm though so for snow I always wear warm winter socks. After the Iceland adventure I decided to order a second pair, because it seems that they are more durable than they look like.

12.10.2021La Sportiva can do much better
Entäuschung für einen hohen Preis, geht zurück (leider auf meine Kosten..) - also, habe ich die Schuhe nicht lange gestestet. Bietet wenig Unterstützung für die Fersen. Stoff scheint billig und nichts zu dauern. Sohle ist in Ordnung, rutscht nicht. Neue Goretex-Technologie (Surround) bietet wenig Luftaustausch. Vorne ist eher schmal. Schnürsenkel sind sehr dünn, kann man damit Schuhe nicht richtig anbinden – daher auch die Fersen bleiben nicht ganz gelockt, bewegen sich (…). Schnitt und Austattung überall ist nicht ganz durchgedacht: Schuhe drückt oder pass nicht gut an, dadurch bietet auch wenig Halt. Andrere La Sportiva Modelle sind viel besser, oft um 30% günstiger: ich stehe auf Akyra und TX4 - bieten viel-viel mehr Unterstützung.

I've been using these boots for a few months now and they are great, light,comfy also used them in deep snow with a pair of merino socks and they performed well.
The laces are worthless so I switched them and didn't have to stop every 5 minutes to tie them.

I'm not expecting this to handle the hybrid crampons type but can it fit the strap on kind?
Hi Martin, Unfortunately, no as it's way to flexible. The crampon will simly pop off.
Having wide feet and having worn altra shoes until now I need to know if LA SPORTIVA - Stream GTX - Walking boots are suitable.
How big is the drop?
Hi Mike, La Sportiva , in general, tend to come up both short and narrow. I think it best that you look towards brands that offer a wider fit such as Lowa or Hanwag. La Sportiva offers heel to toe drop information for their running shoes, however, this information is not available for their hiking boots.
Thanks Adrian !
Mike
My answer is yes!!! I also have wide feet and even tthe deformation of the ankels of some fingers asking for sufficient hight of the upper part. And these schoes
are good choice for such problemms
