LA SPORTIVAMens Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX Hiking Shoe

These are high quality approach shoes and very reliably waterproof. Only complaint is that they are quite narrow. I purchased size 11 and the length is fine, but I have wide feet due to years of running around barefoot in India on hard floors. As a result I have corns on the toes with prolonged wear. OK for day trips but I will find hiking for longer durations difficult due to this problem.
