Comments about LA SPORTIVA Men's Delta GTX Backpacking Boots:
I tried just about every boot I could find.
I started the search for a new boot cause a few years ago I was having burning pain in my second toe on my left foot. NOT Morton's neuroma. Some metatarsal padded insoles helped a little, but the pain came back. Always. To the point I was limping out of the woods.
I was using Aslo 520 gtx which were always comfy and Fugatives around town, just so you know the background.
So I tried Vasque Breeze in wide, but my heel swam. 2 Salewa boots that I wanted to like, but lacked in many areas. A few Zamberlains...they don't make a 46.5. (what were they thinking) A couple others...and nothing worked.
Then I read a report online about these and the guy could only complain about the orange hi lights on the edge of the sole that he colored with a marker. ?? But said they were the best kept secret. So I figured I would try them.
WOW and WOW, was I glad I did. These boots are just what I needed.!!!!! Nice roomy toe box and the heel is narrow enough to have no movement.
And they are light in weight. Lightest boot I've ever used.
Part 2.
I tried all the Superfeet along the way and HATED them all. VERY uncomfortable.
Then when looking for a new tent, a guy at the Manchester store said I should try the green ones for what I was experiencing and the Salem store guy said to wear them for short periods at first to get used to the FIRM (hard) feel.
I used this system on a 2 day backpacking trip and had no burning!!!!!!! With very little break in to boot. PUN INTENDED!
I am very pleased with the boots and the Superfeet. And I won't be coloring in the orange hi lights with a marker. They are very stylish, just the way they are!
