Darn good shoe for my first trail buy By Trail lover from Denver, Co on 08/05/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have never bought a trail shoe before and have spent the past few years running in my road shoe on the trails. Researched shoes and came across the La Sportiva Pikes shoe, bought it and have loved running in it the past few weeks. Was stiff the first few runs but she is perfect now. Have taken her to local trails and to Pikes Peak to train for the ascent. Great shoe!!
Attractive, run small on me By Kona from Tucson, AZ on 07/28/2008 Pros: Durable, Great Traction, Stable, Stiff Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels half size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Shoes look great, but I usually wear a 9-9.5 and with these 9.5, my large toe presses against the tip when I walk. Unfortunately, I need to return these.

By The Lady Who Runs from Durango, CO on 07/15/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width 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.
By froggirltx from Arizona on 06/02/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable Cons: Could use more padding Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width 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.
By garden girl from New Hampshire on 05/25/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Great Traction, Stable Best Uses: Everyday, Trail running Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: LaSportiva climbing shoes have always been my favorite, and these trail shoes are in the same realm. I've gone back and ordered a 2nd pair.
By climber girl from Montana on 05/11/2008 Pros: Durable, Great Traction, Non-slip sole, Stable Cons: Very little arch support Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width 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.
By the girl from upstate from Erieville, NY on 04/15/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Stable Best Uses: Backcountry, Day hikes, Everyday Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width 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!
By Bibbi from Tuscon, AZ on 03/18/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Great Traction, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width 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.
