The La Sportiva Spire GTX Hiking Shoe offers the performance, durability, and protection we need for rugged peak-bagging day hikes and fast-moving backpacking trips. This versatile hiking shoe features Gore-Tex Surround technology, which not only offers waterproof protection in the lining and upper, but delivers effective draining for multi-dimensional dryness on the trail. One of the only pitfalls of a waterproof shoe is that although waterproof membranes keep water out, they also keep water in when creek crossings and other mishaps leave them soaking wet from the inside. The Spire GTX solves this problem by incorporating aeration channels within the footbed and midsole, as well as drainage ports towards the bottom of the shoe, giving a fully waterproof construction that continues to keep our feet dry when the unexpected happens.

Uncomfortable the second time around
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 46.5
- Height:
- 6' 1"
- Weight:
- 190
I had these shoes when they first came out and they were great; however after getting a second time a few months ago, they are killing my feet around the ankle so any long hikes are kind of out of the question. The waterproofing is great as is the comfort in the sole, but they don't secure well for my feet. Unfortunately, I think I am stuck with them given the new return policy at Backcountry. Too Bad. May have to shop elsewhere given the return policy.

The shoe is great for support and comfort, but the sizes really are narrow.

Had my eyes on these for some time and glad I finally decided to get them. Only worn a couple times but comfortable out of the box. Well designed. Great looking shoe.

Comfortable and great performing
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 43.5
I purchased this shoe for a trip my wife and I recently took to hike the Jungfrau region of the Swiss Alps. It was amazingly comfortable straight out of the box, with no break in needed. We did a number of hikes with more than 2,700 vertical ft of climbing with no foot fatigue or hot spots. These truly are all day shoes! Side note, I accidentally bought two pairs when I ordered and was going to return the extra pair, but have decided to keep them for when the first pair eventually wears out. I always loved my various La Sportiva climbing shoes and these hiking shoes carry on that excellence. They do however run slightly small so I sized up a half size as others have suggested.

Great shoe

Just bought another pair. Been crushing it in the shoes since last September. Work as a pro ski patroller and Bicycle mechanic. I have put the shoes to the test in various New England conditions. The vibram sole and gortex outer Really makes the difference for me and what I need in a shoe everyday.

My First Pair
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- 42
- Height:
- 5' 5"
- Weight:
- 160
I'm not serious hiker by any means. Took these out today on just a snow covered crushed lime stone trail today, snowing and 20F. Can't say enough about how well I liked them, extremely comfortable, warm, handled 3" snow with ice below and no slipping. Tread is aggressive so not sure I would recommend spending any time on pavement, but man once I hit the snow covered trail they were exceptional. Strongly would recommend these shoes.

On my third pair
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 42.5
Just ordered my third pair of these shoes. The first two I put through the wringer and only replaced after wearing them out. This is an excellent 3-season hiking shoe, but living in Southern California it effectively works as a 4 season pair for me. Burlier than a trail runner, but way more comfortable and lighter than a standard hiking boot. These are my go to for everything from backpacking trips and day hikes. Comfortable enough to wear around camp too. I only wear La Sportiva and found that sizing translates well between all their shoe styles.

Narrow, stiff, hurt me
- Size Bought:
- 44
- Weight:
- 180
Had very high hopes and they were definitely not met. I ordered a size larger than I normally do and wore these on several trial hikes over a few weeks before a 100 mile section hike. After 1 day I had begun to get blisters. I switched to a thinner sock but ultimately these shoes are very rigid and unforgiving. The toe box beat up my toes badly. Multiple blisters and black / dead toe nails. I do not think going an additional size up ( 2 over normal) would have helped although possibly it would have. Expensive mistake.
