Love these shoes

La Sportiva CrossLite 2.0 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

La Sportiva CrossLite 2.0 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 9, 2011

Let me start by saying that I have to have good support, as I have a pin and two staples in my right ankle.
Until recently, I have always been pretty loyal to Nike, as the shoes held up fairly well. However my last pair, lasted less than three months and began falling a part.
Needless to say I saw these at a climbing festival and was impressed by what I saw, so came to BC and got a pair.
I don't exactly trail run, but wear these a my daily cruiser's and don't have any pain in my ankle or feet due to the fact there is plenty of support.
As far as wear I have yet to see any noticable wear on the bottom of the treads, which are pretty aggresive.
And for a black shoe my feet actually stay pretty cool due to all the mesh on the top of these shoes, which helps with breathing.
So far, You got a loyal customer in my daily shoes as well as my climbing shoes.

Sportiva - Ganda Approach shoe

La Sportiva Ganda Approach Shoe - Men's

La Sportiva Ganda Approach Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2010

Let me say that I have worn the soles off one pair within a little less than a year due to the amount of wear I put on them. And I purchased another pair so that I wouldn't be with out my favorite shoe, while the first pair is out getting a re-sole.

With this said, I must say I've only done a couple trips where approach work was truely done in these shoes. The rest of the time was kicking it around town, an occasional hike on a weekend and going to and from the gym to climb.

A friend of mine at a local proshop told me when these first came out that La Sportive touted that these bad boys were designed to withstand up to 10 re-solings. After seeing the shape my orignal pair is in, there is no dought that these are well worth the money I spent on both pairs I own.

I think the rubber is a bit better durability wise than that of 5.10's guide teenies which I've owned several pairs of in the past. They was still very sticky even when the knobbies begin to wear off.

The best part is that the shoe it's self hasn't broke down like that of the guide teenie by 5.10, and because of this solid build my other pair off getting new rubber put on them.

I also like the fact that, not only do these look cool and they are different than what a normal individual wears, they hike well while being a decent climber unlike most quote approach shoes a whole which truely don't done anything very well when one honestly critics them.

I've bouldered on V-3's, Trad climbed up to a 5.10a's. They edge truely with a sturdy lateral support of a great lace up, while the soles tend to be a lot stiffer than many approach shoes that wear more like running/ cross trainers.

I highly recommend these to anyone whom is looking for a solid approach and is willing to spend a bit more to get a truely great approach shoe.
