Our take on the La Sportiva Spire GTX

The La Sportiva Spire GTX is a waterproof women's hiking shoe built for day hikes and light backpacking. It pairs a Gore-Tex membrane with a Vibram XS Trek and FriXion Blue outsole, and its raised collar gives more ankle coverage than most low-cut hikers. At $108.83 at REI as of November 4, 2026, it sits well below its typical new price, which usually runs closer to $150–$175.

Questions and answers

Is the Spire GTX worth it at $108.83?
Yes, if you want a waterproof, supportive hiker. At $108.83 at REI as of November 4, 2026, it is well under the usual new price, so it is a strong buy at that figure.
How does it compare with a low-cut hiking shoe?
The raised collar gives more ankle support and keeps debris out better than most low-cut shoes. The trade-off is extra weight and less freedom of movement at the ankle.
Is it truly waterproof?
Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane blocks water on wet trails and in shallow puddles. It is not a wading boot, and water can still enter over the collar.
Does it fit wide feet?
The fit runs on the narrow side with a firm, higher arch. Try it on or size up if you have wide feet or wear thick socks.
When is it cheapest?
The best new price seen is $108.83 at REI as of November 4, 2026, with two stores listing it new. End-of-season clearance is when hiking shoes like this usually drop furthest.
