    I’m wearing them to bed!

    I have been wearing these pretty much constantly since buying them 2 weeks ago. I may never take them off. They’ve replaced a pair of Salomon GTX shoes (which were more expensive) that fell apart after 2 years. I reckon these La Sportivas are superior by a long shot.
