La Sportiva Makalu Mountaineering Boot - Men's

Item #LSP0092 | 39 in Stock

Couldnt get them to fit correctly

By Ranked #244 - Men's Mountaineering Boots April 15, 2011

After break in these got a little loose on my foot and ended up being too small lengthwise. Took them to Limmer and Sons and had the tongue modified to try to lock my heel in more and keep my foot from moving but that just made my foot numb. For me these are just too stiff for heavy backpacking. Wouldnt work for me even with modifications by the best in the business! Also, these look tough on the outside but they have a fabric inner that will start to fall apart if you abuse these boots.
