A Gore-tex lined leather approach shoe designed for more technical approach routes. The precise, ergonomic fit is achieved by using all-around pullstrings which hug the 360° linking to the lacing system via a series of hoops and high frequency reinforcements and is derived from La Sportiva climbing shoes. The protective rubber toe-cap is also derived from their climbing shoe range. The midsole “Rock Guard” wedge contains a layer of EVA with an injected shock absorbing cushion at the heel and provides enhanced support to the ankle to avoid torsion of the foot. The Idrogrip Vibram sole contains graded zones: a climbing zone at the toe, lateral suction pads of various sizes and a shock absorbing cushion at the heel.
- Lightweight, waterproof and breathable approach shoe developed exclusively by La Sportiva.
