text: Bought for wildland fire.  Took on a few hikes on granite rock mountains, haven't had them on a fireline yet.  The toe and heel of one boot are shredding, just stripping off in layers.  The other boot is fine.<br /><br />My biggest complaint is the hoops La Sportiva is making me jump thru to get these swapped out.  They don't want to just replace them, they want me to pay shipping back to them, and then wait weeks for a resolution.  Dudes, it's fire season and I have work to do.  So I'm having to buy another pair to get me thru the swap time.  I found out Lowa gives firefighters a $100 discount on their wildland fire boot.  Guess who's getting all my future business?
