La Sportiva Trango Trek GTX Backpacking Boot - Women's - 2007 BCS

I'm taking these out hiking soon, but I've been breaking them in at work and if they're only half as comfortable on the trail, they're perfect. Super comfortable, good foot weight and size came very true for me, and I have slightly wide feet. Got this boot off SAC.

Just when I thought I would never find a boot to fit my slightly wider than average foot, I ordered these as my last resort. Out of the box, they were a perfect fit and true to size. Wore them with a heavy backpack on an 8 mile hike for a test run with little to no break in time. They proved to be comfortable, sturdy and warm on the snowfields of Mount Rainier with a 45 pound pack. An awesome find at a great price.

There is basically nothing that these boots can't handle. I first used these boots last summer backpacking up at 13,000 ft and the mountain that we were hiking was covered in streams and runs from all of the snow melt, but these boots were amazing! Not only do they have one of the best soles on the market, but the vibram is super sticky even when the rocks are slick and water proof. I have a pretty weak ankle, but the support these boots have makes that issue almost nonexistent. All of this year I have been hiking through snow, rain, mud, you name it...and la sportiva's amazing boots have been incredible through it all. I can't rave about them enough, but if you are looking for an insanely light weight boot that you can wear no matter what the conditions are...this is a purchase you will not regret.

I thought these boots fit my long, narrow feet quite well, but I did not think they would provide adequate support for carrying a heavy backpack over uneven terrain, which was my planned use. I think they would probably serve well for dayhiking with a light pack.

I am impressed with this boot. It's sturdy and warm. I bought it at my regular size and had plenty of room for thick winter socks. If I were going to use it as a warm weather hiking boot, it wouldn't work as well b/c they would be too wide. But I have really narrow feet. They took a couple of days of all day wear to break in, but now feel great.
