We tweaked the designs of proven technology from years past to produce the Boulder X. Additional padding underfoot for long approaches and uber sticky rubber add deluxe comfort and performance. The Vibram® Idro-Grip compound stays sticky on every type of rock even when wet. The all-leather upper and sticky rubber toe rands offer durable protection. Ideal protection and performance built for the rigors and abuse of the mountains.
• High-cushion LaSpEVA layer above the 2mm polypropylene insole cushions the foot on long approaches
• Mythos lacing system for a highly adaptable and custom fit
• Ideal terrain: Approach and hiking on technical terrain requiring friction footwork

No reviews yet.
The Boulder X's scores in climbing ability and weight are low compared to its competitors, but we find that most climbers don't spend nearly as much time approaching on technical terrain as they do on manicured trails. For the average climber, the La Sportiva Boulder X is a decent choice that will keep your feet comfortable and support, all for a great price. There are shoes at similar prices that have better overall scores though, so if you might be venturing into varied types of terrain, we might recommend looking elsewhere.
