La SportivaWomens Wildcat Trail Running Shoes

I know these are trail running shoes, but they are so comforable above all my other sneakers that I rarely go out without them. The wildcat trail running shoes have excellent support and reduce pronation as they have a very solidly supported arch. The shoes are great for walking running, trails or city streets. I would say the only downside is that they don't open widely to put on. They are a snug shoe with a tongue that is attached and does not come away from the shoe, which is good as it doesn't move around. However, the downside is that it's a bit cumbersome to put on. I would steer away from these if you have hand mobility issues as pulling them on would be much harder. You cannot fit your feet in them without a bit of a struggle due to the tongue style. For those without hand/arm mobility issues they would work alright.

These are the best shoes! I had to return to get the correct sizing as they run a little small to me, but overall they are comfortable and didn't need to be broken in for hiking. If you go in dusty areas though your socks and feet will get very dirty as it goes through the holes in the fabric. They clean well with a brush and the logo doesn't stand out terribly, I personally hate wearing brands that advertise on the product I am wearing.

These are my 2nd pair, they're excellent trail runners/walking shoes, and need no time to break 'em in. Really, I forget I have them on cause the they're so comfortable. There's a bit of heft to them, but really, once they are on your feet -feel cushioned & supported. The toe box is roomy and the heel won't slip on me (I have narrow heels). Also there aren't ankle or heel hot spots. the laces can be taught for a more secure feeling or if you ankles gotta have some room, loosen 'em and you're good. I usually wear a 7-8, but I bought these in 8.5 and they're perfect. Mid-to-dark gray mesh with red lace hooks makes for a more neutral selection than many of the flashier colors out there. During Covid times I walk approx. 7-10,000 steps a day on pavement and hiking trails and started to wear out the treads in about 1.5 years. So glad to get the same shoes!

I bought these shoes specifically for our trip to the Canadian Rockies. Even though they are considered trail runners I ended up using them as hiking shoes. They are light and very breathable - just perfect for the summer hike. The sole is stiff with multiple cleats which provides pleanty of stability. Overall they provide good grip on wet or dry surfaces. When stepping on exposed tree roots they will slide - so make sure to watch were you step. The construction at the top prevents any debris from getting into your shoe. They are very comfortable to were on the long, challenging hikes.This is an Italian company and the sizing is a bit different. I'm usually size 9M US or 39B/M EU, however, after trying a pair in MEC store I ended up going with size 8M US/39.5.

This is my 2nd pair and just find they are perfect. I am glad I can get a 1/2 size...that's what I will do next time to feel good about giving it a 5 star rating.

I was looking for a lighterweight shoe for hiking, and these were recommended. I wore them for the first time for a 10-mile hike of one of Maine's 4000'ers, and the second time for a 12-mile hike of one of NH's 4000'ers. They worked great, and I needed no break-in time. There's just enough stiffness in the sole and lovely padding so I didn't feel the rocks underfoot. Even on the few times that my toe pushed forward during long descents, I barely felt it. They were perfect for my purposes and my feet - they accommodate a slightly wider foot, and put no pressure on my many sore spots that I've earned from years of hiking. I'll likely get another pair with the gore-tex so I won't have to worry too much about wetter trails.If you are a runner, these will probably feel heavy to you; if you are accustomed to wearing hiking boots, these will be significantly lighter.

The shoes fit very well and confortable for running over dry trails but if you walk over wet rock or even any wet floor be careful because the soles are SUPER SLIPPERY. I have another La Sportiva pair of shoes, the Boulder X model, and their soles are excellent for walking over wet surfaces.

I had previously purchased a pair of LaSportiva Wildcat Trail Running shoes at a local sports retailer when I was first getting into running. I had gone in to have my foot fitted by a professional and to make sure that I was getting the correct shoe for my type of running. According to my 'running professional' I have 'wicked long and narrow' feet so there were only two brands of shoes that fit my feet. I purchased a pair of the above mentioned shoes and started running. I found that this brand is very comfortable on my foot, did not need any type of adjustment and they have held up wonderfully over the 6 months that I had them. I had gotten a lot of mileage on my first pair when I began to notice that I had worn down the considerable treads on the bottoms of my sneakers. At that time I also participated in an 'Adventure 5K' which included mud which pretty much trashed my first pair so it was time to retire them anyways. I would not normally purchase shoes online, however, because I was so happy with the performance of my previous pair i was happy to buy them again. Amazon provided these sneakers at a significant savings over what I had paid previously. How can that not make you happy. :-) If you are into running, and especially running off road these may be the shoes for you.
