Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Comfortable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable
Cons:
Not Water Resistant
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Day hikes
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This shoe is a little too stiff fore and aft (not enough flex where my toes hinge) to be comfortable for me for running, but I am lightweight and like my running shoes pretty flexy. They are very comfortable and supportive for hiking. They are stiff enough that I can do talus and scree with no problem and the soles have excellent traction in loose or slippery conditions.

Could use more padding

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I generally like these shoes. Traction is great. They could use some more padding on the ball of the foot. This is not a problem except that I often transition from trail to highway; I need more padding on highway.

Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable
Cons:
Very little arch support
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a good, aggressive trail running shoe, but as a flat-footer I find it somewhat lacking in arch support or any type of foot support. I'm going to invest in slip-in supports.

Pros:
Comfortable, Durable, Stable
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I've been hunting for a trail running shoe for some time, and finally decided on this pair. They broke in great, and I've no complaints as of yet. I run on hiking trails, through cow pastures, and swamps and the shoes have held up. I did feel the swamp, but my foot didn't feel wet, and my sock was dry when I took the shoe off. I'm impressed with the buy so far!

Pros:
Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Hiking around Tucson is very rocky and rough. So far these shoes have held up well. Not very soft, so not good for general wear or if you need a soft heel.

Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Comfortable, Stable
Cons:
Hard to tightenloosen
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Cold weather, Day hikes, Everyday, Trail running
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a really comfortable shoe and great for long trail runs. The shoe has good padding and feels very stable even after three hours of running. The only con is that it is really hard to tighten and loosen the laces which is fairly annoying and time consuming on the trail. Overall this is a fantastic trail shoe that can withstand serious abuse is gets great traction on everything from loose dirt to snow. The only trail shoe that I have found that compares to this one in quality is the La Sportiva Crossroad.

Sizing:
Feels true to size
Width:
Feels true to width
Pros:
Durable, Great Traction, Nice toe protection, Stable
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Rocky trails, Wet Weather
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is my first pair of LaSportiva's and I like the motion control it provides for my "weak ankles". The sole seems to be designed for rolling over the rocks and branches with less sliding of other trail running shoes I have worn. The toe box could be a tad wider at the 5th toe. The lacing system seems to lock in place and not loosen during long distance runs.
Nice shoe for regular feet
