La Sportiva’s most rugged approach shoe, with hiking boot performance in a lighter weight design
Most hikers, climbers and trekkers prefer featherlight gear when they’re taking on high-altitude adventures. So La Sportiva took that principle and applied it to their lineup of hiking footwear. The Boulder X is the most rugged approach shoe La Sportiva offers, with Sticky Vibram® rubber soles for high-grade traction (even on wet surfaces), more padding underfoot and solid mid-soles to protect your feet from long days at the crag. Built for the longest approach days and standing up to whatever your mountain days have in store.
Features
Ideal terrain: Approach and hiking on technical terrain requiring friction footwork
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
Durable leather upper for comfort and abrasion resistance in rugged terrain
