On Cloud vs. La Sportiva
See pics for a comparison between On Cloud and La Sportiva hiking shoes.
The La Sportiva Spire GTX were worn over 14 months. The On Cloud Cloudrock Low Waterproof were worn over 9 1/2 months. Both were used on similar terrain (mostly pavement with some trail hikes).
You can see that the La Sportivas show much less wear even though they were worn over a longer period. Granted they are rated as a more technical shoe. Price-wise they are equivalent.
Of course YMMV but for this moderate hiker the La Sportivas will be my choice going forward.
