La Sportiva Makalu Mountaineering Boot - Men's

Item #LSP0092 | 39 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great Boot hard to beat!!!!

By Ranked #772 - Men's Mountaineering Boots September 18, 2008

I bought a pair of these boots 3 months ago and have 2 hard packing trips in them and no issues. They are a fairly stiff boot and mine broke in fairly quick. I never got a blister/hot spot or pinch out of these boots. I will agree with the other guy and say order a 1/2 size bigger than you should. This is my second set of sportivas and my last set I did'nt know they would shrink and they are now 1/2 size too small. So whatever fits perfect get the next 1/2 size up. At first you will curse me and in 6 mo to the life of your boot you will thank me.
