I've worn the older version of these (Kailash GTX) for the past 10 years (4 pairs). These are similar in fit and break-in, requiring just a few hikes to be comfortable. The construction is excellent and even better than the older model, with few seams in areas prone to abrasion. In my job as a field biologist I usually wore out the Kailash GTX within 2 years, and I'll be interested to see how these hold up. Given their sturdy all-leather construction, I suspect they will last at least as long as the older version.

These shoes are not wide enough. When I measured the width at heel and forefoot they measured closer to standard "D" size. Perhaps the EU or Italian foot runs narrower, but they are clearly not as wide as other company's dimensions.
Awesome: I really need to go hiking now!
Awesome boots! Super comfy! Barely any break in time, and amazing grip!
Kailash Plus GTX fit narrow foot: The Kailash Plus GTX is well built and the TM last fits my narrow low-volume foot nicely. Just starting to break them in, should not take long, and I don't expect to have any problems. Like them a lot already!
Second pair in 7+ years: The standard. Reliable, durable, and an overall great performing hiking boot.
Amazing Boots! Some of the most comfortable out of the box I've ever owned. Rugged, durable, fantastic.
This is my favorite Scarpa boot so far. It affords confidence on & off trail hiking. That said my aging feet will need more cushoning from after market footbed. Also I bruised my outside lower small ankle bone the fibular on a rock or something on my first hike. I will enjoy these boots but not purchase them again. My lower ankle in these boots needs more protection. Maybe a cobblers rear boot insert strip for added cushioning protection will do.
I buy mens shoes because I have long narrow feet. Mens are usually a bit wide. These however run narrow for mens so they are perfect for me. I added better insoles as arch support was lacking. I’m excited to get out and hike in these.
I have seen slippers & rock climbing shoes with a larger vibram footprint. The narrow unconventional dress shoe laces a uncomfortable to the fingers when tying. You cannot sacrifice function for weight reduction faux pas! It's almost a formal dress boot.
