La Sportiva Makalu Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Nice classical choice

I bought Makalu in the summer. Comfortable, if you have chosen the proper size. I like this classical style. During the summer climings and hiking (I've got twisted ankle and was not able to wear my hiking shoes), sole's stability and flexibility of the Roughout leather become me to walk without any support from other teem members even on slippery surfaces.
But for 12 hours hiking ventillation was not enough. I hope, next time I will try La Sportiva Makalu with Gore-Tex ))))
