Aggressive break-in!!! - La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX Hiking Boots - Men's

I received these boots on a Friday, tried them on and they seem to fit well. I kept them on around the house to see how well they felt. I decided to use them on my planned hike the next day, and pack my other boots in my backpack. We were hiking two Peaks in the Santanoni Range of the Adirondacks. After 16 miles, over 4500 feet of elevation gain, using microspikes and snowshoes for the entire hike, I would say these boots have been broken in. Temperature was in the single digits all day. These boots are comfortable, stable, workmanship and quality seem very good as well. My son is a fit, avid, fast hiker and backpacker, he swears by his La Sportiva boots and shoes. These are my first pair of La Sportiva’s, and my first impression is very high. Salomon GTX were my previous boot, and are great as well.
