La Sportiva Aequilibrium LT GTX boots 2024
Aequilibrium LT GTX is the alpine hiking boot for heavy loads, ideal for backpacking and multi-day walks at high altitude
Exceptional walkability thanks to the innovative construction of the Double Heel™ heel: the very pronounced double-block rear geometry increases the braking effect downhill and allows a more fluid roll reducing the muscle fatigue. Durability and lightweight coexist in harmony thanks to the new outsole / midsole package with external Rubber Guard™ shell construction and internal foam material for accentuated cushioning and lightweight derived from less use of rubber layers. The shape is Ergonomic: enveloping and precise with TPU shells integrated in the toe and heel to reinforce the uppers. The 3D Flex System Evo™ directional joint with shaped malleolus and abrasion resistance, allows better control of the support and perfect mobility of the ankle. Vibram® SpringLug Tech tread with Impact Brake System lugs for greater adaptability to hard rock surfaces.

Technologies
Resole Me
Resole, renew, reuse. Compression Eva midsole with recycled materials from the production process. Resoling Platform: allows easy resoling without damaging the EVA midsole in the process.
3D Flex System
An innovative multidirectional hinge on the upper allows the ankle to make the most of its natural characteristics without losing stability. Enhanced foot control on difficult terrain. Larger sole surface in contact with the ground. Enhanced stability. Even better fit. More secure heel
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.
