La Sportiva Typhoon Gore-Tex® Hiking Boots - Waterproof (For Men)

I have medium-high arches and narrow ankles with a wider forefoot. These fit great right out of the box. I've tried Limmers, Merrell, and these are the best for my foot shape. Love them. Also, they are not bad looking for casual use, unlike some of the multi-colored boots out there. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because I can tell they will have a shorter life than say limmers or traditional boots. I think it's unfair to compare the two, honestly, but I can tell these are looser now than when I bought them. So bottom line, they did break-in some even though they felt great out of the box. Still love them.

I wear these to work 5 days a week. I have an office and inspect highway construction worksites nearly everyday. I've had these about a month as of this review. I will likely buy another pair.

At first I thought the sole was a little to soft and flexable, as I like very stiff soles, but after working in them for a few weeks, I find them to be just right. I work at UPS in the preload and work on concrete floors and step in and out of trucks while loading for 4 hours, so I need a good boot. These have turned out to be just what I was looking for.

I think these would have been great boots, probably 4-5 star except that I could not use them as they are too big. I own two other pairs of La Sportiva boots both size 43.5. I ordered this size with confidence they would fit but I was let down. May be the difference between boots made in Italy (the ones I already have) and ones made in Vietnam.

This boot has all the modern updates, yet looks like the boots you wore to class in Boulder or Berkeley in 1970. Pretty cool. Great for walking the dog and day hiking.

These boots are fantastic. Fresh out of the box, I wore them for a 3 mile walk and they felt wonderful. They are light and have excellent shock absorbtion with good ankle support. I washed my car wearing them and they kept my feet dry. I wouldn't change a thing about these boots.

Great Boot. Purchased to climb Kilimanjaro. Very comfortable, warm and dry during the 4 day summit. A few small blisters during the steep 2 day down hill, but thats to be expected. Took about a few hours of hiking to properly break-in.

Everything I expected: Speed lacing, inner padding, rugged, supportive outsole, waterproofness, durability, deep,rich color, comfort, very little break-in time regardless of other reviewers' comments. I'm happy with them. They're the best all season hiking boot purchase I've made in years, that coming from one who lives in a cool climate eight months of the year. My local sporting goods manufacturer discontinued a very similar boot about ten years ago, much to my disappointment. So I was happy to see these appear at Sierra Trading Post.

It a really water resistant boots

Excellent fit and well-made. A little heavy but that's what makes it durable.
