Not Waterproof

This boot fits great, feels good, and looks good. But it is not even close to being waterproof; it’s not even water resistant. Incredibly disappointing!!

Nice Shoe

I purchased shoe a couple months ago and finally started wearing full time the end of May. Due to being on my feet in all conditions, I thought I would give these a try. They are comfortable. But they are not waterproof. I walk and after walking in wet grass for approximately 1 hour, my socks are wet. The lugs on the bottom hold onto small rocks. We shall see how they hold up through the summer.

Great Looking Boots - Too Small

Love the look and quality of these boots, but much too small for me - ordered a 12.5 - needed at least a 13 - sent them back as the toe felt like it would be too narrow despite a larger size - but, that might just be my feet

Outstanding For Day Hiking

Have hiked about 20 miles in these so far and am very happy. Waterproofing is flawless, and they are pleasantly light without feeling flimsy. Great grip in wet conditions, and I appreciate the laces going almost all the way to the toes so I can shape the shoe to my foot.

Very Comfortable

Dry comfortable shoe right out of the box. No aches or pains with the break in process it was almost as if they were ready for the trails coming right out of the box. Now… to go find big foot.

Excellent Shoe

This is a truly excellent shoe. It is comfortable right out of the box, lightweight, and fits me very well. It has a very aggressive tread pattern but is not too stiff, and I also think that the price is reasonable. I can't speak to the long term durability of the shoe but it seems to be well made. I love them.

Sweet Kicks!

This is my second pair of Salewas. These are my favorite boots so far. I have owned nearly every brand, but I am now firmly in the Salewa camp. The fit is perfect, they are super comfy-not too hot, not too cold.

Love These Boots

I'm a boot snob and hard to please when it comes to lighter boots. I've only had these for a month so it's a preliminary 5 stars. That said, I love these boots! Break in took about 6 days and only had 2 small hot spots on my left foot, one on my small toe and 1 on the top under the tongue. They were gone in a couple of days and the boots are very comfortable now. These would be great day hikers or trail boots with a very aggressive tread. They do pick up gravel quite often but that's to be expected. I like aggressive tread so not a big deal to me. I use these for work in the field on multiple terrains and in all kinds of weather, I wear them 8-10 hours daily and my feet feel as good when they come off as the did when they went on. I can't speak on longevity yet but can tell you I'm tough on boots and for lighter boots these have me sold so far. I like them so much I might buy a second pair for when these do give up. I'm a size 10.5 US. And these fit true to size perfectly. Hope this helps!

Mi Amore

I use higher end hiking boots for my daily job as a lineman. I’ve been a La Sportiva fan for 20 years. Took a chance on another Italian boot and I am very happy with them. These things are beyond comfortable. I regularly spend 12-15 hours a day in my work boots. Normally I run Sole insoles, but I found the ones that came with the shoes to be quite nice. I wear a U.S. 13 and ordered a 47. Perfect fit.
