The La Sportiva Aequilibrium Lt GTX boot is an alpine boot for heavy-duty hiking. Ideal for backpacking and multi-day hikes at high altitudes.
A waterproof nubuck upper combined with a gusseted sewn-in tongue and snow protection in the form of a soft collar ensure maximum wear comfort. Meanwhile, abrasion-resistant inserts on the sides increase the boots' durability, especially on sharp stone edges. The boots have an ergonomic, wraparound and precise shape, while special TPU shells integrated in the toe and heel reinforce the entire upper construction.
The innovative Double Heel ™ heel construction, or double back block, increases the braking effect during the descent and allows for smoother rolling. This design reduces leg muscle fatigue.
The innovative multi-directional 3D Flex System Evo™ hinge on the upper allows the ankle to take full advantage of its natural mobility without losing stability. This gives us better control of the foot in difficult terrain, a larger sole contact area, increased stability, a better fit and a more secure heel.
The sole is both lightweight and durable. This effect has been achieved by combining the outsole and midsole with Rubber Guard™ outer shell construction and internal foam material.
The Vibram SpringLug Tech tread guarantees comfort, adaptation to the terrain and good cushioning. It consists of a rubber coating that provides superior protection and considerable resistance to scratches and wear, as well as providing grip and traction. The low-density polyurethane content maximises comfort and also makes the sole perfectly adaptable to uneven terrain. It also features the innovative Impact Brake System technology , which absorbs unpleasant impacts on the ground and improves grip, especially when descending.
The high level of protection against water is thanks to the Gore-Tex® Performance Comfort membrane used in these boots. Thanks to this, your feet will always remain dry and protected from the cold on rainy days. The breathable (vapour-permeable) membrane is also responsible for wicking away moisture from the inside of the boot. In situations of intense activity, it will not allow excess moisture to accumulate on the skin. As a result, it ensures optimum thermal comfort.
The boots are equipped with a special panel in the rear part of the sole that allows easy attachment of semi-automatic crampons. They thus offer greater precision of movement in difficult winter terrain.The La Sportiva Aequilibrium Lt GTX is the ideal balance of comfort and technique, lightness and durability for modern mountaineering. They have been designed with multi-day treks in mind, so they will be ideal for demanding hikers. Shoes La Sportiva Aequilibrium Lt GTX 21y-999100
