Reviewed by jim from denver on Tuesday, May 21, 2013I got the Sportiva Wildcats and Raptors in the same order, and they are really great for hikes and everyday walking. I am a true size 11 with long low-to-mid volume high arched feet, and I usually buy 11 1/2. After reading other reviews, I got the Wildcats in size 46 (U.S.12) and I got the Raptors in size 45.5 (U.S. 11 1/2). The Wildcats are a little large, but excellent with some thick hiking socks. The Raptors are just about perfect with lighter hiking socks. I'm glad to have both pair.

Reviewed by Onmyfeetalot from Gyspum Colorado on Tuesday, May 07, 2013These are excellent, comfortable shoes. I don't run any more, just use them as work shoes in my cabinet shop. I read other reviews and bought 1/2 size larger and that worked perfectly. Light with good support.

Reviewed by Lookout Ranch from Sierra Foothills on Friday, May 03, 2013These shoes have just about the most comfortable, most supportive footbeds I've experienced. My heel is very securely locked in as well. The width at the ball and toes is nice without being sloppy, and the they lace down securely on my low volume feet without bunching up above my toes. I have strange feet -- normal width and arches but with very low insteps -- i.e. low volume, so it's very hard to find shoes that fit well. These bumble bees work for me. I haven't had them out on the trails yet, but the initial impression is very good. Length-wise, I'd say they run maybe a half size small. I wear a 12 in most shoes and got the size 46.5 in these, and they are just long enough.

Reviewed by Hec from Chihuahua on Thursday, April 18, 2013True to size. Rugged, yet not clunky. I bought them for an ultra marathon in the Sierra Madre mountains, and so far (training) they've been perfect!

Reviewed by dv from el paso, tx on Tuesday, April 16, 2013Size is at least 1/2 size, if not a full size, smaller than normal. I bought two pairs, 45.5 and 46 just to be on the safe side. Though the 46 fits well enough, I can't help but wonder if the 46.5 would fit better-- maybe even too large. Regardless, I've decided to keep them (heck, my running days are over anyway and I just like trail runners for beating around town). There is one slight annoyance on the left big toe, the edge of the rubber toe bumper rubs my big toe. I think I can eventually push this deformity outward and have a comfortable pair of shoes. Otherwise, solid construction (unlike my The North Face trail runners which I feel are poorly constructed).

Question “Do these shoes have good arch support for someone with high arches?”

Answer These shoes do have very good arch support and as a plus the insole can be made to conform to your feet.
