Lafuma XMotion Mid OT Hiking Shoe

i like these for general walking around and mild scrambling. i did use them on a rocky hike on mt ranier ( lots of tallis) and my soles were feeling it after a short while - this is basically a light weight sneaker type shoe, but with a decent grippy sole and a nice waterproofing feature, which works well. they also look good. it's great on non-technical terrain. my feet were not hot despite the very warm temps. i wouldn't try carrying a pack with these on. they would be great with a little more protection/stiffness in the mid layer.

I don't write reviews unless I really like a product. I like this product. Got them yesterday, just in time for an overnight camping trip. They fit great, no need to break them in. I was a little skeptical of buying a mid-top boot, I've been a fan of low tops but these suck my heels in really well. Even my left heel which is EXTREMELY rare. It seems no matter what kind of shoe I buy my left heel slips, not with these though. Great fit and looks to be very well made. I'm sold on Lafuma.

This shoe is a great all-around hiking shoe but is able to "step-up" when required. I pulled the shoes out of the box and immediately tackled an unknown hiking path. It was the Matterhorn Glacier Hike and ranged from boulders and shale/shingle to normal dirt. This shoe came through with flying colors. Held me on unstable ground as others were slipping and was very comfortable throughout. Highly recommend this shoe!

This is a great hiker...I like it better than the low top version which was an award winner in Back Packer magazine. Ankle top is a better solution than any low tops I've used. Previous favorite hiker was Garmont Nasty which is now out of production. Good cushioning, stable platform with great grips on steep terrain. LaFuma got this right. Highly recommend. Size was as advertised.

This mid boot performed well on an agressive mountain hike up a gravely, rocky trail. After receiving my usual size , I had to freturn them for a half-size smaller. That shoe was comfortable right away. I haven't hiked through water yet, but I like the lightness of the Out dry. Thay's a feature that sold me on this boot, along with the pricing.

I exchanged this shoe for a Montrail Blue Ridge GTX hiking boot. This seems like a pretty nice shoe for urban trekking or smooth trail hiking but it feels insubstantial. The uppers are not real rugged and the sole/footbed is pretty thin. Would not want to be stepping on a lot of angular rocks with these. Comfortable though, and true to size.

Got my number and it was half a size too big. Same problem as other buyers, so go half a size smaller on your purchase.
