By Nevada Hiker from Elko Nevada on 07/23/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Arch Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable, Water Resistant Best Uses: Day Hiking, Harsh Terrain, Heavy Loads, Light Loads, Long-Distance Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My girlfriend and I both have a pair of SL M3 boots we love them. They take a little break in time and a few short hikes will do the trick. Between the two of us we hike 60 to 80 miles a week in rugged terrain, and no problems at all. These boots hold up to anything we can dish out. I’ve been wearing Scarpa boots for years and recommend them to anyone looking for a true hiking boot. Not some department store look-alikes.
long break-in, then blisters on my toes By oregondave from portland, or on 06/23/2008 Pros: Ankle Support, Great Traction, Sturdy/Durable Cons: Do not protect feet, Long break in, Not Comfortable Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: these are nice looking boots, full grain leather italian made all things i prefer. they seemed to fit perfectly. regardless, i've had nothing but problems with them. first 3 trips in them required the inclusion of trail runners in my pack because my heels were toast. That got better but then my feet felt crushed when used in combination with the green superfeet. got normal insoles only to start getting a fun blister on my toe and still feeling some hot heel spots. just haven't worked for me. bummer.
Good boot in a cheapo world By Mo from Angwin California on 06/09/2008 Pros: Durable, Great Traction Best Uses: Backcountry, Multi day back packing Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend One of the best boots available today. In a world where good boots are hard to find any more.
In the old days 80's and 90's . Good hand made Italian boots where not that hard to find.
Raichle, Vasque, Lowa , Zamberlan La Sportiva, and Scarpa all had boot models made in Italy , at least some of their models.
Now days the pickings are real thin and Scarpa is one of the only boot company's still making a good well made boot.
These SL M3's remind me of the the good old REI Spirit boot (which used to be made in Italy for Raichle, who in turn distributed them to REI) , but not anymore.
It is very similar , but a bit more heavy duty . But it is still a real good boot.
What I really want Scarpa to make is a boot identical to this one but about 15% to 20% lighter. But not compromise quality, I want it made in Italy and one piece leather, no gore tex.
But yeah this boot rocks, I would say this boot is half way between a mid- weight hiker and a heavy duty hiker.
For me it is too heavy just for day hiking. But it would be ideal for multi day , rough terrain hiking with a pack. Good work boot for what I do, I am a tree trimmer/climber.
