Karakorum HC GTX
Description
A traditional, sturdy leather boot, ideal for traditional mountaineering and more demanding hiking where the use of crampons might be required. The cuff has three hooks to allow even greater ankle protection and foot stability. The sturdy uppers are made using one piece 2,8mm hydro repellant leather. The Gore Tex lining guarantees that the boot is waterproof and breathable; the Vibram Impact Brake System sole absorbs negative impact with the ground and performs well both on uphill and downhill paths.

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. |
