Description
<p>The Aequilibrium Top GTX boot from La Sportiva is the perfect symbiosis of lightweight and high-performance mountain boot for weight-conscious and ambitious summit strikers.</p><p>Featuring a water-repellent and extremely abrasion-resistant gaiter, this mountain boot already offers optimal protection against wetness and sharp scree in the outermost layer. Underneath, the boot scores with an ankle-high, ergonomic construction that precisely wraps the foot. Along with the water-repellent gaiter, the waterproof Gore-Tex lining is also used here. </p><p>In terms of fit and comfort, the Aequilibrium Top GTX boot impresses with the integrated BOA® Fit System, which allows you to adjust the inner shoe to your foot. In addition, with a special 3D rotation option in the ankle area - so the foot is flexible in movement but still well protected and stable thanks to the abrasion-resistant layer. </p><p>As far as walking is concerned, the dual heel construction, which allows for a smooth rollover, provides more performance. The midsole with its external rubber shell construction and inner foam for optimal cushioning also plays a role here. The alpine mountain boot is rounded off by the Vibram® outsole for ideal grip and ground contact.</p>
