La Sportiva Aequilibrium LT GTX

The La Sportiva Aequilibrium LT GTX is the alpine hiking boot for heavy loads, it’s ideal for backpacking and multi-day walks at high altitude. Exceptional walkability is achieved thanks to the innovative construction of the Double Heel™ heel: the very pronounced double-block rear geometry increases the braking effect downhill and allows a more fluid roll reducing the muscle fatigue.

Durability and lightweight coexist in harmony thanks to the new outsole / midsole package with external Rubber Guard™ shell construction and internal foam material for accentuated cushioning and lightweight derived from less use of rubber layers. The shape is Ergonomic: enveloping and precise with TPU shells integrated in the toe and heel to reinforce the uppers. The 3D Flex System Evo™ directional joint with shaped malleolus and abrasion resistance, allows better control of the support and perfect mobility of the ankle. Vibram® SpringLug Tech tread with Impact Brake System lugs for greater adaptability to hard rock surfaces.

Impact Braking System:
The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill.
Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.

Gore-Tex Performance Comfort:
Optimum comfort and durable waterproof protection when you need it most. This footwear is designed for outdoor use in changing weather conditions. From backpacking and hiking boots that take you around the world, to climbing shoes you can rely on, you get highly breathable footwear with moderate insulation for all-season climate comfort.

Vibram Sole: Ensures an optimal balance between performance and durability.

Aequilibrium:
Equilibirum: A state that makes it possible to control the position and movement of the body in space. It stays also for harmonic: the synthesis between opposite and contrary forces.
Aequilibrium Series: The perfect balance between comfort and technicality, lightweight and durability for the modern mountaineering.
