La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX Boot - Men's

Why We Like The Nucleo High II GTX Boot

The La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX Boot braves nasty weather on muddy trails, and it's comfortably versatile enough for hiking in warmer, dryer conditions, too. We appreciate its GORE-TEX waterproofing laminated to a durable leather upper, and the flex zone around the ankle that allows greater mobility. Underfoot, a solid combination of cush EVA and Vibram rubber keeps us comfortably sure-footed on all trails.

Very narrow and runs long

Familiarity:: I've used it several times
Size Bought:: 44, 44.5, 45
Height:: 5' 9"
Weight:: 150

The build quality seems great, and they look fantastic. I bought it for its waterproofness, but I never got out of the indoor testing phase. It is extremely uncomfortable to wear and I had to order three sizes above my normal to be able to handle the width of my feet. My normal size (they are European sizes only, I am in North America) wasn't fitting at all and hurt my feet. I ordered three different sizes over the course of a month. I normally am a 44, but I order 45 and 44.5 with no satisfaction. They are too narrow in width, but primarily too short in terms of the height of one's foot. It would hurt the skin on the top of my foot, and the heel and toes wouldn't touch in sizes that fit my foot width. I have wider feet than normal, but not massively so. I returned all sizes, since every single one hurt my feet in slightly different ways. I would only recommend if your feet are very short, long in length, and narrow in width. Like a turkey or cassowary foot is what I ended up telling people in person.
