### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lineman 101
*by G***R on May 18, 2025*

Now I feel like a real lineman.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kickin' Holes in the Continental Divide
*by D***O on April 11, 2012*

Mak's = AwesomeI've worn some boots in my days trudging around this pale blue dot we call Earth, but nothing to date compares to my Makalu's. These boots can take a lickin' better than Muhammad Ali. Be sure to throw in some Superfeet REDhot Trim-to-Fit (7100) Mens Cold Weather Insoles Shoe and your feet will stay nice and toasty. Of course, these boots need more than just insoles, leather, and rubber...you definitely need a thick wool Wigwam pair of socks to round it all out.Now down to the nitty gritty: these boots have full shanks, so the sole is stiff...as it should be. If you plan on doing light hiking in these, I suppose you can, but plan on probably being unhappy with the lack of flex and light weight. I have hiked trails with <20lb pack, but then again, I was in the USMC and when people complain about "heavy" boots, I laugh. These boots aren't that heavy, in my opinion. There is a significant break-in period...+/- 50 miles. On sizing...I wear an average US size 10, but with these boots I sized up to EU 44 for two reasons, extra room for 2 pairs of socks, and I also have bunions from the crappy boots I wore for years in the Marine Corps. I started with size 43, pinched too much and my toes could feel the end of the boot...so I went a whole size up which is roughly 2/6" larger from 43 to 44. The key point is that I wear thick socks and more than one pair...normally a liner plus thick hiking sock. No complaints. However, if I were to attempt just a liner sock...i would be close to swimming in empty space.If you plan on humping a heavy pack, kicking steps in snow, and/or wearing crampons for technical ascents...then these are your boots. La Sportiva is legendary in their craftsmanship, and these boots carry on that standard of quality. Only unknown is whether you can get up icefalls with these bad boys. My guess is it is doable since these are a great all-around mountaineering boot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for tree work
*by M***F on August 28, 2024*

These boots have seen 15 straight months of serious tree climbing and ground work through all types of terrain. They are not waterproof but absolutely crush as far as durability and comfort. Great for wearing spikes. Replaced insoles 2 months ago. Outsoles are starting to get flat so I plan on buying the same pair again in the next couple months.
