Review on 👟 La Sportiva Low Top Shoes for Men by Mario Schultz

I just received these and felt compelled to write a review as I think the biggest question everyone has is what size should I order? As you have probably already read, hiking boots have to fit well and are known to stretch by about half a size. However, I wear US men's size 10.5 in Under Armor shoes, size 11 in Nike/most other brands shoes - these are all my street shoes. I wear a size 11 in Saucony running shoes. I ordered a size 42.5 (or a US men's size 9.5) after realizing they are large. I'm VERY glad I did! I literally have no less than 10.5 as my foot wouldn't fit in and that 9.5 is still way too big! In truth, I probably should have lowered my rating to a 9. However, I think they do their job and fit well, but there is a little play in the heel, almost unnoticed. My only concern is that they might get too big if they stretch. But the good news is that I like the shoes so this just gives me an excuse to switch to more aggressive shoes - assuming my skills have improved by then. to. Quality wise I'm new to climbing but La Sportiva is quite well known for making a good product so I can confirm the shoes are really well made and you won't be disappointed. 1 size down and even then be prepared to return them to get the correct shoe size. Lots of people have recommended visiting REI to try them in store but my nearest REI is 2 hours away so I'm excited. In any case, you will be satisfied with this shoe.
