That’s great to hear that they relax and loosen up a little. I tried the the “wide” and felt a little loose in the fore foot. I hate loose or sloppy shoes that let your feet slop around. I want a comfortable but well fitting boot
Great review. Helpful to know that they stretch out. I tried a pair on and they did feel slightly narrow in the toes, might give them a shot since they stretch.
Yeah, I was a little nervous about them feeling a bit tight but after a few days of wearing them around town they stretched out nicely. Now, they feel awesome but they were tight at first!
Any recommendation on size of the La Sportive shoe to buy given I wear 9.5 sneakers. Also since you had Solomon Ultra and you liked those so why didn't you go for the same one again? Did you find La Sportiva Nucleo better than your Solomon?
I wear a size 10 sneaker and the size 43 LA Sportiva fit me well. I would guess a size 42 or 42.5 might work for you? REI has these on sale this weekend so now is a good time to buy. I had thr Salomon Authentic LTR GTX before, but that boot is not made anymore. I liked it but the La Sportiva seems to have a bit more cushion in the sole which I appreciate.
@@gvs550 great, I hope you enjoy them! Mine felt a little tight at first but they loosened up after breaking in and feel great now. I love them, most comfortable boots I have ever owned.

I bought a pair today, returned them for a wide, I definitely think these are a great pair of boots. Thank you for the review.
I hope the wide works out for you!

My wife just got these from rei for $90. They were only used 1 time. They are the best hiking boot I’ve ever had.
I wore these during a 10 day, 55 mile backpacking trip at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer in the mountains of New Mexico. They were outstanding.

@@randompastimes Thanks for your quick response. I did end up picking La Sportive from REI today,
