Great Boot

I bought my second pair of the Karakorums recently, took me about 6 years of summer field work to wear the first pair out. Fit perfect out of the box with no break-in period. Beefy, definitely not meant for light hiking.

Comfortable Right Out The Box.

Super comfy boots right out of the box. I wore them while hunting unicorns in Sherwin forest. They served me well of the pack out with being chase by ferries.

First Mountaineering Boots

I wanted to get some mountaineering boots, but didn't want to spend a zillion dollars. I'm not trying to perish on Everest. I'm not trying to "die doing what I love." After looking around online, these seemed to fit the bill. Got 'em a couple weeks ago and have since put around 50 miles and 8,000 vertical feet of gain on them. Terrain ranged from chunky and sharp and cacus-ey karst out in the West Desert of Utah to the streets of Salt Lake City to the snowy Wasatch Mountains. These boots are warm, waterproof, sturdy, and pretty darn comfortable considering that mountaineering boots are much more rigid than typical hiking boots. For what it's worth, I typically hike in size 10 Asolo TPS 520 Evo hiking boots. Getting these La Sportiva Karakorums in size 43 has worked well.

Comfort

This is probably my tenth pair of La Sportiva boots. They are comfortable right out of the box and hold up in rugged conditions. I use them for work and play.

Great Boots

I bought these boots a month ago and they have been nothing but the best. I wear them every and they still seem like a new pair of boots. I'm a lineman and the support of the boots is unreal.
