"Specifically created for hiking with or without a pack, La Sportiva's lightweight Pingora GTX hiking boot is the ideal hybrid design for dominating damp trails in the early spring through the late fall. The big difference between this boot and other light hikers is the waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex lining that keeps your feet far drier than anything made from ordinary leather and mesh. A half-length steel shank inside the Trailflex offers better stability than cheap imitations that go without to save ounces. The Pingora is a superb multipurpose boot for those who live multipurpose lifestyles in the outdoors."

"I love these comfortable, sturdy boots! I tested them out on a 5-day backpacking trip in the Olympic National Forest (Coastal trail). My feet always felt secure, even with a 45-pound pack and on slippery, uneven terrain. I am surprised at how many times I could have easily sprained/rolled my ankles, but these boots protected my feet so well! They were comfortable right out of the box - I didn't even have to wear them in."

"Awesome boot. In the past 2 1/2 years I've put over 500 miles of hiking and backpacking on my boots in rocky conditions and they are still in good shape. Worth every penny and then some."

"Best I ever owned and I'm into my 4th decade of "hiking. " Did 4-day, 50 miles, with complete pack and scouts on Appalachian Trail and loved them. Did 16 miles at a "recon shuffle" pace and like them even more. Light, yet, excellent stability moving fast on rough terrain."
