Description

Leather approach footwear made with innovative solutions in the construction of the upper and sole/midsole system developed specifically by La Sportiva for the approach world.

DESCRIPTION
The fit is ergonomic and precise thanks to the special all-around tie rod assembly system that wraps the shoe 360° by connecting to the lacing system. The tie-rod also innovatively wraps the midsole at the front, helping to distribute tension evenly throughout the shoe. This construction system derives from the know-how developed by La Sportiva in the world of climbing shoes. The rubber toe cap is also derived from climbing shoes with a construction that allows for continuity between the edge and sole for greater sensitivity when climbing. The EVA midsole features a “Rock Guard” platform at the toe and a shock-absorbing insert at the rear to facilitate ankle support while avoiding unnatural twisting. The Vibram Idrogrip outsole is made with specific features for approaching and is equipped with Impact Brake System on the heel and inner part, suction cup lugs on the outer part and climbing zone at the toe. The ultimate in La Sportiva technology applied to approach footwear.
