TECHNOLOGY:

Impact Brake 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.

3D Flex System

An innovative multidirectional hinge on the upper allows the ankle to make the most of its natural characteristics without losing stability. Plus features: Enhanced foot control on difficult terrain. Larger sole surface in contact with the ground. Enhanced stability. Even better fit. More secure heel.

GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort

Shoes engineered with GORE-TEX® Insulated Comfort product technology are designed for outdoor use in rain, snow and cold conditions. They combine durable waterproofness and optimized breathability with insulation for use in cold weather conditions, which makes them an ideal solution for a wide range of outdoor activities. Water and snow stay on the outside while perspiration escapes from the inside. Thanks to their insulated inner lining they offer reliable protection from the cold.
