Praise vs. Criticism
I 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.

La 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.
