La Sportiva Makalu Mountaineering Boot - Men's
Invinci-boot
By Taylor Arave
Ranked #232 - Rock Climbing Shoes
September 1, 2009
Had these boots for 6 years and still going strong. Done everything from 100+ miles trips in the Windrivers to summiting Rainier in them. They work well for just about any activity down to freezing temps. They dry fast and are very water resistant right out of the box. The only con is that they do run a little narrow (easily alleviated by either trimming the insoles or custom footbeds) and they do need substantial break-in time, but once its done these boots will provide years of reliable service. My next boots will be LaSportiva.
