La SportivaMen's Boulder X Low Rise Hiking Boots, 7 UK

Amazing stability, almost as stable as high hiking shoes, bit heavier and firmer than the rest in this catgory but it gives it stability and durability. The rubber is amazing, absoluteliy no slipping on very slippery rocks. A bit warm for the summer but overall amazing shoes that are gonna serve u for quite some time.

Fantastic approach shoes. Well made, comfortable and good grip. Better lateral control than most trainers; good for scrambling. However, not up to any significant bouldering, etc.

Good fit quality materials excellent grip even on damp rock have had 3 pairs in last 10 years with hard use and no complaints

Great pair of shoes, good quality, comfortable, and easy to take on and off. Only gripe I’d say is they run small. I’m usually an 8-8.5 and I ordered size 9 and it seems slightly too tight. So if you have wide feet like myself order up.

I have been wearing these boots on a semi regular basis the week of their arrival and have put them through various tests all of which they have passed with flying colours. My footwear of choice for approach style walking in semi rough terrain has always been Merrell however I was very disappointed in the last pair purchased due to rubber rot on the toe and the leakage due to this. It remains to be seen if the rubber finish on these shoes will degrade in the same way and what will occur should this happen but I am very happy with my purchase thus far.

These shoes are on the small sizeI ordered a UK 9 and the seller thankfully sent a 9.5 although these were still a snug fit and they took awhile to break in and become comfortable.I actually wear a UK 8.5 so order one full size above your normal and if you are wide of foot maybe a size and a half above your normal sizeGreat shoe weird sizing.

Very comfortable from the moment i put it on! Looks nice and it it feels super durable! Feels very sticky on rocks and all kinds of other grounds. The only small disadvantage is that it's not breathable, but that doesn't bother me!

Great pair of shoes, comfy and well fitted.
