Great shoes
I ordered my regular size after reading the reviews and regretted it after my first outing. I wear an 11 in EVERYTHING but these. I really needed them and decided to tuff it out. That was a mistake. Aside from my poor decision-making and failure to heed others' advice these shoes are very comfortable and easy on the heel. I use them for light hikes. Usually 2 miles or less on easy trails. A few roots and rocks but nothing too technical. Anything more than that I have another pair of sturdy hikers that get used.Overall a very comfortable shoe and I would buy again just in a larger size.
I will return for a refund because the outsole started to disintegrate after the first 2 miles hike. I believe the pair I got is defective since the outsole of the shoe is described as one of the most durable in the La Sportiva line.
The shoes are very comfortable, preferred them over La Sportiva Raptor until the rubber sole ripped off less than a month of hiking use
I bought a pair of these in 2021 for trail running, and I liked them so much I bought a second pair! Unfortunately I have very narrow feet - I wear a size 10.5-11 with a 4" heel - and it's a pain in the feet to find a shoe that won't slip & slide around as I move. These Karacals hug my narrow feet well - in over 1000 kilometers of running & walking they have not slipped or slid around at all. Previous running shoes have consistently rubbed blisters into my ankles, but these have given me nothing but solid performance. I can run up dirty, dusty trails as fast as my body can go, and then turn around to run down them without worrying about slipping.In my opinion La Sportiva has the quality that is worth the cost.
The ankle area opens up very wide letting in all the debris. Otherwise a very comfortable shoe with amazing traction as always.
Good quality and the fit was perfect.
