The La Sportiva Boulder X is a rugged approach shoe built for demanding mountain approaches, technical scrambling and via ferrata routes where you need maximum grip and stability; the ultra-sticky Vibram Idrogrip outsole with a dedicated climbing zone in the toe area offers precise footing on rock slabs and iron rungs, making the shoe feel almost like a climbing shoe while still delivering the comfort of a hiking shoe. The redesigned outsole with Impact Brake System – special lugs that help absorb impact and improve braking on descents – supports your steps on the way down so you can stay focused and move confidently for longer.
The soft 2 mm EVA insert acts as a cushioning layer, reducing shocks to joints and muscles, while the reinforced suede leather upper with a full rubber rand protects your foot from abrasion on rock and rough terrain. A breathable mesh lining keeps the interior climate comfortable on long days out, and the patented asymmetric lacing system, derived from the Mythos climbing shoe project, allows very precise adjustment all the way towards the toes. The result is a shoe that supports you on exposed sections and gives you the confidence to tackle more technical approaches without hesitation.
