Super Comfy!

It took 3 tries for the correct sizing, but, worth the minor hassle, these shoes are reeealy comfortable right out of the box. For the record, I wear a 42.5 in both Shimano and Garment....I've settled on a full size down from that to a 41.5, and still have a bit of room, but I think they'll be perfect for hiking and not smooshing my toes. Besides suffering my carbon footprint on my 2 returns, I am nevertheless happy with the final outcome!

Gret Foot Feel

I've had the shoes about a month. I did buy 1/2 size smaller than usual, but they have been great. Wearing them right out of the box has been very comfy. No rubs, lots of room and holds my foot well.

La Sportiva Spire Gtx Boot

These are the best, most comfortable hiking boots, hands down. I bought the high top version of these a year ago, loved them too. They are light weight and with sufficient cushion. The width is just right, not too wide and not too narrow for medium width feet. The price is good, for the quality and comfort that come with these boots.

Great Shoe, Just Not For Me

I tried tieing this shoe so many different ways, tried thick and thin socks, tried different inserts but these just don't work for me. I think the wide is just not wide enough plus the shoe is a bit too big causing pain at my right big toe, left heel and pinky toes. In addition the sole is just too firm. If I could do it over, I would have bought my usual size 37, not 38 like the size guide suggested. The shoe has great grip (hiked on slippery scree) and good ventilation. The shoe laces actually stay tied (I've had other shoes with laces that come undone no matter how you tie them). Seems to be good quality; Despite hiking on sharp rocks, boulders and scree they still look like new.

Lives Up To Its Very High Reviews!

I've had these less than a month, and have about a 150 miles on them. They are comfortable out of the box, with plenty of room in the toes. Both of my feet were shattered in an accident, and I find they are very supportive. My feet run very hot and sweaty, even in the winter. The ventilated sole, seems to do a good job keeping them cool. Initially, that was a major selling point for me. Well done! Much of the time I even skip a sock liner. Vibram soles seem just right. I really appreciate the tread pattern, as it has exactly the right grab for bouldering and hiking in sloppy, uneven conditions. Plenty of lateral stability. They are fast and light, but still rugged. They perform great in all conditions, and keep my feet dry. I live in rural Michigan, so trail conditions vary by the day. Very happy with my purchase.

Runs Big

I bought Euro 39 for women in both the La Sportiva Spire GTX and the Trail Ridge Low. Whereas the Trail Ridge Low in Euro 39 women fit perfectly, the Spire GTX was too big...I would say half size too big. Bushido II trail running shoe I wear women's 39.5. So, La Sportiva's sizing is all over the place for some reason, which makes relying on the sizing chart, whether here or on La Sportiva, impossible and perplexing.

Comfortable And Roomy

Bought these for my wife on specific request to replace a previous pair. (By the way, I also have a pair of the men's version.) The key feature of these shoes that keeps us coming back is the considerable volume within the shoe that ensures your foot is not cramped. Too many shoes have the cramped toe-box, not these. Durable, waterproof and comfortable.

Order Athletic Shoe Size.

Based on other reviews I ordered my normal shoe size which is 1/2 to 1 full size smaller than my new balance running shoes. They fit but my toe was too close to end, so now I’m waiting for my reorder that is a full size larger than normal shoes. From trying on the smaller size, they fit well are very comfortable just walking in my living room…not super soft but like a firm hiker. I have a slight bunion and these were fine…no rubbing, but not sloppy elsewhere. Can’t wait to get the larger size and hit the trails.

Love This Shoe!

These shoes are sturdy and comfortable. I have hiked in them for more that 6-7 hours at a time. The soles are very grippy and keep me from slipping off very slick rock during hikes.

Great For Hot Weather Hiking

I hike or walk at least 5 miles per day and La Sportiva has the most comfortable boot allowing space as your feet swell in heat. These boots are light but have great tread.

Great Shoe. My Wife Loves Them.

Bought this shoe based on reviews from outdoor gearlab. My wife loves them and they seem like they will last a long time. She said they are very comfortable and grippy.

Hiking Shoe Runs Large

I purchased size 40.5 (9) and 40 (8.5) and wear a women's size 9. The size 40.5 was large in length and width. The size 40 fit in length but unfortunately, both were large in the heal. Had to return and look for another, slimmer fitting hiking shoe. Otherwise, shoe is of good quality and comfort. Would recommend for people with wider feet.

Great Shoe!

I love the way it fits - my foot is comfortable, it's roomy without being big. Treads are great. I really feel refreshed wearing them. My hiking experience is improved with these shoes.

Great Hiking Shoes

Thought I’d try the Spire hiking shoe since it was rated top women’s hiker. Very pleased - grippy sole, good lugs and supportive fit. We go to Colorado twice a year, so will put them to use!
