excellent shoe
I have owned these shoes for about two years. I have bought a few other trail runners from addidas and saucony, but this pair of shoes out does the rest. I run on heavy rock trails, no mountain biking. The outer sole performs great, the rest of the shoe seems just as durable. I have wore these shoes out and most likely will get the La Sportiva Barr trail running shoe. This brand makes quality trail shoes. I highly recommend these shoes.

rock and trail
Great shoe - i just used these to run up to the base of the Third Flatiron - climbed the 5.5 route in them - and ran back down. Perfect for trail running and low 5th class climbing - only complaint is that it could use more lateral stabilization for climbing...small complaint in a running shoe!

Great for trail running
it's my first pair of la sportiva shoes and I couldn't be happier. For trail running they are really sturdy and great for rocks. I am going to try climbing soon hopefully they'll be just as sturdy!

Awesome shoe- tight in the toes
This is an awesomely constructed shoe. Hardly ever seen one better. Furthermore, it seems incredibly versatile for any sort of mountain running, easy climbing, backpacking, cani-cross. It fits kind of tight in the toes, which I find starts to wear out your feet after long days on the trail. But for climbing/scrambling, that's just what you want. If you want a more comfortable hiker, I'd go with a shoe by Asolo.
