Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Durable, Good ankle support, Good traction, Great day hiker, No break in period, Non-slip sole, Stable
Cons:
Heavy, Trouble with sizing
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this hiker in women's and men's for my husband and me. Neither of us have any complaints. We were able to wear them right out of the box and went on a 3 hour hike. No jammed toes, nice ankle support - we like them and hope to wear them a lot more in our Wyoming and Missouri hikes.The only trouble was getting the correct sizing - I followed the advice at the bottom of the page (runs small, order a 1/2 size up). I'm a true 9 - so I ordered a 9.5 - it was WAY too big. I ended up having to reorder. However, I noticed on the Euro sizing that there was a 40 AND a 40.5 - but they are both listed as size 9. I went with the 40.5 and they fit perfectly! My husband is a 9.5 and I DID order the 10 for him - (it was an anniversary gift so he hadn't had a say in the matter). His first comment was, "This is probably going to be too big," but the 1/2 size up for him was a perfect fit.[...]

Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: For cold climate hikers, these might work out with winter socks. This shoe feels about a half size larger than other La Sportiva shoes. They're warm, so if you're hiking in warm clinates, your dogs will be panting in no time!
