Easy Returns - No Hassle Money Back Guarantee:
Our Outdoorplay Return Policy is designed to give you peace of mind, and we guarantee the quality of every product we sell. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase from Outdoorplay, take advantage of our “No Hassle Money Back Guarantee” and return your unused item (in its original manufacturer packaging, along with any hangtags) within 60 days of purchase to receive a refund. The item must be returned in the state you received it, in order to receive a full refund. All returns are subject to evaluation by the Returns Department.
Outdoorplay partners with Redo to offer optional Return Protection coverage at checkout. When you place your order, you can opt into Free Returns during checkout for $2.98. If you think you may need to return or exchange any part of your order later, opting into this small fee up front will cover the cost of your return shipping label. (This is a great deal since our average return shipping label is about $12!)
If you choose not to opt into the Return Protection, you will be responsible for the cost of your return shipping label. The cost of return shipping is based on the weight and size of the product you will be returning.
All sales on Used Items are final: no returns, exchanges, or refunds. Please note, we reserve the right to include a processing fee for some returns (for example, when cleaning or reboxing is required, if you refuse to receive shipment, etc.), which will be deducted from your refund. Oversized items (very large or over 50 lbs.) will require us to manually arrange return shipping.

Love the build quality and rubber toe wrap. I find that they need a bit of time to break in. I use these almost daily and love this category of sho because I can ware them all day at work and then go on a hike.
- SSkipReviewingLa Sportiva Men's Boulder X Approach Shoes (Closeout)I recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars6 years agovery durable, sizing can be weird
will last forever but tighter than you would expect. I would go a half to one full size up from normal shoes

Awesome for other than hot summer days on the trail. My favorite work shoe too!
- AAnonymousReviewingLa Sportiva Men's Boulder X Approach ShoesI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 years agoWonderful Shoe
This shoe fits EXACTLY a advertised. It is comfortable and extremely durable. I have worn them in the mountains of southwest Asia and across eastern Africa. The grip is excellent and the toe rand saved my toes more than once. They may be a bit hot and little heavy compared some other approach shoes, but its a fair trade off for durability and comfort.
