I just had my second pair of La Sportiva start peeling away the sole again. They are fantastic boots, but my experiance is they have a very short life. I think I am ordering a new pair of Zamberlin and going to try a different route. The 2090 Mountain pro I think will be my next choice.La Sportiva and Crispi are good choices but with all stiffer hunting boots make sure to really use them before the hunt to make sure they fit you well
