Waterproof Hiking Boots La Sportiva Aequilibrium Trek GTX

Men’s waterproof trekking boots La Sportiva Aequilibrium Trek GTX. With Gore-Tex membrane, Vibram sole & PU midsole for heavy loads

The men’s waterproof La Sportiva Aequilibrium Trek GTX hiking boots (Color: Cypress/Cloud) uniquely combine the technical protection and stability of mountaineering with the exceptional comfort and freedom of movement required in the field. Specifically designed for multi-day hiking trips (backpacking) and long traverses on technically demanding trails, they represent the ultimate balance between alpine performance and everyday walking comfort.

The upper is made from 1.6 mm Hydro-Perwanger® water-repellent leather, LWG-certified, combined with a durable abrasion-resistant fabric rand. The integrated GORE-TEX Performance Comfort waterproof membrane provides 100% protection against rain, mud, and snow while allowing the foot to breathe. At the same time, the special 3D Flex System Evo™ ankle articulation provides directional support, protecting the ankle area without restricting natural freedom of movement.

The revolutionary Double Heel™ heel construction with its dual rear geometry ensures an exceptionally smooth walking roll and increased braking power on descents, noticeably reducing muscle fatigue. The Vibram® outsole with Impact Brake System™ technology and 5 mm lugs provides outstanding traction on ascents and complete control on descents. In addition, the polyurethane foam midsole with a protective TPU layer provides excellent shock absorption while reducing overall weight.
