Awsome shoes, I have been using them together with the Ultra Raptor and Akasha for over 7 years now. A bit on the heavier side but great if you neeed well protected, well structured, stable and comfortable shoes for the mountains.
I can’t do any waterproof running shoe, unfortunately. My feet sweat too much. Since I’ve figured that out, I haven’t gotten a blister with any shoe brand. Love the gear reviews guys!
I haven't hiked in years and bought GTX trailrunners. I'm afraid of getting blisters so I ordered some Silverlight socks also. Not cheap for a european to order them but they are highly recommended by many for blister prevention. I hope better socks will counter the non breathability of GTX. Have to wait and see.
I have some La Sportiva TX-4 approach shoes and they've been amazing for my adventures in the Rockies. They're like a hybrid hiking/climbing shoe, great for scrambling, but could be ran in too.
I was wondering if the shoe started to get a little more room with time or if the shoe started to expand a bit more with time? I would like to know as I recently bought them and because my one foot is a bit longer than the other I feel like it fits a little tighter on one foot while the other fits perfectly. btw I have no pain when walking or hiking on my one shoe. thanks

Thanks, good to know, Christof! - I also have a wide foot, and so that is particularly good information!
Great review but what hat is that which you are wearing? It’s awesome
Nice review and sweet gear room!
Do i need to go half a size up for the shoes ?
so this is the famous christof? funny to see him and not only hear about him. :)
Look very comfy! But I love my speedcross 4's

I like my trail running shoes to be burly. I'll have to check these out.
Do you guys find you have to size up with La Sportivas? I always have go up a size from normal to fit them properly.
I sized up 1/2 size and it was perfect.
½ size up for me as well.
too heavy - wish they made a kaptiva with stickier rubber outsole that didn't weigh a lot more.
Looks like a great shoe, thanks.
