Description
A versatile leather mountaineering and backpacking boot perfect for light duty mountaineering, heavy hiking and backpacking or various types of outdoor work situations where you need durable support and all-day comfort.
This boot begs for abuse again and again. We used a new tapered 8mm high density Nylon® that provides a smooth flex and protection throughout the boot, which allows for new-matic crampon compatibility and long lasting consistent flex.
• Ideal terrain: General mountaineering and heavy backpacking
• The 2.8mm Idro-Perwanger leather upper is ideal for water repellency, breathability and durability
• An SBR Aircushion sole provides cushion and helps insulate from cold or hot climates
• Aggressive Vibram® sole (semi-automatic crampon attachment)
• Multi-directional 3D Flex™ hinge promotes easy flex and a faster break-in period

Tips: La Sportiva recommends that you add one 1/2 size to your street shoe size. You should be able to slip one finger behind your heel when you are standing up with the boot unlaced and your toes touching the front. If the boot is too short, your toes will get smashed walking downhill. Too long and your heel will slide up and down and give you blisters. |
