LS Boulder X
No approach shoe combines protection and performance like the Boulder X. Sticky Vibram® rubber provides traction on approaches, while the solid mid-soles keep your feet protected on full days at the crag. Suitable for technical approach routes and via ferrata thanks to the extra-grip sole and the toes designed specifically for crag climbing. The Impact Brake System offers enhanced braking power for descent routes. The soft 2mm EVA insert guarantees optimum anti shock properties.
La Sportiva have tweaked the designs of proven technology from years past to produce the Boulder X. Additional padding underfoot for long approaches and super sticky rubber add deluxe comfort and performance. The Vibram Idro-Grip compound stays sticky on all types of rock even when wet. The all-leather uppers and sticky rubber toe rands offer durable protection.

- Mountaineering 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.
