User Review: La Sportiva Makalu
|
Rating: ![]()
Price Paid: $380AUS
Still in the break-in period, mainly due to the fact that my first pair had to be sent back. What looked like a shank started to come through in the front part on both boots so a replacement was sent to me. I then got my new Makalu's and found that they had sent me the new models ( I had the previous model without the rubber covered front section). These are by fare a lot less stiff which is a little bit of a concern. I don't mind putting in the hard yards breaking them in, and the new boots flexed allot quicker than I expected when hiking out to Mt Feathertop. I hope this doesn't affect the use of snowshoes or crampons and time will tell if they stuff up again. But overall boot looks and feels great.
