User Review: La Sportiva K3

Reviewed June 16, 1999 by Cosmo Asp

Rating:
Materials: Leather w/Vibram Clusaz soles
Use: High altitude hunting w/ impossibly heavy loads
Break-in Period: Brief, based on my use
Price Paid: $325 US

If you are looking for a leather single boot for winter use that provides adequate stiffness, warmth, and is easy to put on, the K3 is worth every penny. I would prefer a stiffer sole, but that's because I remember the Super Guide era boots. For high altitude hunting in tough conditions, I think the only boot to beat this would be the Nepal Extreme, although I prefer the newer Clusaz pattern sole on the K3 for it's design and toughness. Also, LaSportiva USA has manged to get some size 14's (Euro 48's) out of the Italians, which has made my life easier.
