Huge disappointment
Huge disappointment. Both with La Sportiva´s customer service and La Sportiva´s product (gaiters). I bought La Sportiva's gaiters and have mailed them many times, but they have not followed up on it. Their customer service: I ordered S / M, but the arrived product only said S. It seemed too small. Their website didn't say what shoe size it corresponded to, so impossible to know when you order the product from their website. They replied that they would get back to me, but nothing happened, then they replied that they had never heard from me (!) and that they would forward my request, which they didn't do either. I mailed them several times after that, but got no response from them at all. They forwarded me to a different company, who has nothing to do with them at all. It was a simple question, yet no professional customer service action taken from them. Their product: It is simply not up to acceptable standard. Already after one try, the cords fell off from one shoe, then off the other one too. Ridiculous. The hooks at the front didn't hold either but both detached from the shoes. The zip at the back went up (!), thus the gaiters fell down and the whole point in using them was gone. The top of the heel didn't stay at the ankles either, but curled down, so again the point in using them (=protection) was gone, as dirt, gravel etc got in between and inside of the shoes and was bothering the feet. Usesless product. I have tried them with La Sportiva's own shoes (Blizzard), and also similar, so they should indeed be compatible. The gaiters were expensive, so they should hold a standard, which they don't. Useless product, very bad customer service. Hope this helps for other people looking for gaiters. R gds MS
