User Review: La Sportiva Makalu

Reviewed May 12, 1999 by an anonymous hiker

Rating:
Materials: Leather
Use: Mountaineering
Break-in Period: honestly, about a year
Weight: 4lb/6oz
Price Paid: $225

Stiff but supportive, hard to break in but worth the effort (although my wife found hers comfy right out of the box, go figure). I use mine alot with snowshoes/crampons for winter hiking/climbing in the Adirondaks, Whites, and Catskills, the stiff uppers let you cinch the bindings down tight without cutting off circulation. Pretty warm, even warmer with supergaiters. Gear I'm glad I own.
