Comments about La Sportiva Mandala Shoe - Men's:

Great shoe. They have a very stiff board-lasted sole so you can kinda rock climb in them. you can stand on your toes without them folding! stiffer than my rock shoes, hahah. I put some Superfeet in them so that they had some arch support. Very comfy. They run narrow in the toe. I bought a pair a couple years ago and wore the [*]out of them. I was so afraid when they started to wear out that it would be difficult to find a replacement. That's when I found Mountain Gear. Thanks guys!

Service & Delivery comments:

remarkably fast. They also use non-cardboard packaging (more "green") for shoes, which is cool. I think I ordered the on a Tuesday and they got here on Thursday using standard shipping. I do live in the same state though :)

A skateboard shoe... look elsewhere!
By Joe the Chemist from Bend, OR on 2/21/2009

Bulky, Not breathable
Best Uses:
Everyday

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about La Sportiva Mandala Shoe - Men's:

I bought these shoes based on looks and wanting an everyday, all-around shoe. When I got them, they didn't look like as pictured, and they did not fit true to size. I ordered a 9.5, but should have a ordered a 9 (maybe even an 8.5). They are very bulky, very much a skateboard shoe. I don't think they belong in an outdoor recreational catalogue. I still decided to give them a try. Comfortable, no break-in time required. However, they are not breathable and made my feet sweat. Every time I took the shoes off, the inside sole smelled awful. I only wore them for about 6 weeks before dropping them off at GoodWill.

Comments about La Sportiva Mandala Shoe - Men's:

I've worn out 4 pairs of these over the years, and haven't found a better alternative yet. Great traction and very comfortable, especially with my custom arch supports in them. They wear well over time compared with most other shoes I've owned. I hope they never stop making them.

Shoe is comfy! I use it for kicking around town. At first it was a bit snug around the ball of the foot but in one day it broke in.

These shoes felt too tight the first time I put them on, but after wearing them for only a few hours, they became very comfortable. After initial wearing in, possibly my favorite shoes ever. Look good with everything, simple and durable.
