The La Sportiva FC Eco 3.0 is an outstanding lightweight hiking boot. It provides the most ankle stability of the lightweight models we tested, and is more durable than most as well. This is a Gore-Tex lined product that performs much more like the heavier midweights when wearing a pack, without the additional ounces. We find it a great choice both for day hiking and backpacking with light to moderate loads. This boot tends to fit average to narrow feet well.
