Perfect Except For The Laces
I'm on my third pair of these shoes, and I love almost everything about them. They're comfortable, durable, and resist dirt staining. My only complaint is that the laces don't last nearly as long as the rest of the shoe. On all of my pairs, the laces have snapped multiple times in multiple places, and it's hard to find a replacement because of the long laces needed for the lacing system. Make the laces more durable (or make it easy to find replacement laces) and these shoes would be perfect.

Beware, Narrow Toe Box!
If you have a narrow toe box, these are the shoes for you. They’re a bit heavy but well made, and have a nice stiff and grippy sole. Unfortunately for me, the toe box was wayyyy too narrow and I don’t even have a wide foot. I even sized up a half size and they’re still too narrow. I have the TX4’s as well and that toe box has plenty of room, they’re almost too wide. I’m not sure why la sportiva makes such a huge variation in their shoes.They were so painful I had to take them off in the middle of a long class 5 scramble since the circulation in my toes was completely cut off. I wish they fit as they are much more rugged and durable than the TX4 (the TX4 lace system is extremely delicate and frays/breaks) and I really like the stiff platform. Maybe the next version of the boulder x will have a little more width in the front (hint hint la sportiva). So for now they get three stars for having an unusually narrow toe box that makes them unwearable for me.

Great Traction On New England Rock
I am pretty disappointed in this shoe. While I will wear them for more treacherous approaches as they have a very solid footing on the rock, so would a good hiking shoe. Unlike other reviewers, I find the shoe to be too stiff to wear hiking around. My feet start aching after only an hour. I also did not find them to be particularly good for any climbing, though I am pretty new to outdoor climbing.

Super Comfortable
I just tried these on for the first time and love them. They’re so comfortable and will be awesome for desert/canyon hiking. Fit true to size and comfortable out of the box.

The Shoes To End All Shoes
Amazing approach shoes! super comfortable, great support, extra sturdy, grippy rubber for scrambles... what more could you want? Comfort and quality to last a lifetime. Also, let's be real.. they look awesome.
