La Sportiva Makalu
Above: The current Makalu, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Use: Rough Trails, Heavy Packs
Break-in Period: 1 to 2 Weeks
Weight: 2.16 lbs

Best boots I have ever owned. Going on 4 years and their still going strong. I use these boots on a daily basis as well as rough hiking trails in the Tetons. Break in period is a little rough but once you get over that you will not be disappointed.

These boots are True to their size, meaning I wear a size 9 in running shoes and the same goes with these which would be a 42 euro. I will definitely be buying another pair of these boots in the future.
