Mountaineering boots - Men -
The standard in terms of classic mountaineering boots, the Nepal Evo GTX from La Sportiva is an automatic-crampon compatible model that is perfect for high altitude mountaineering on any terrain. Many people describe it as THE shoe for the ascent of the usual Mont Blanc route.
In terms of protection and comfort, the Nepal Evo GTX incorporates a GoreTex® Insulated Comfort membrane that ensures waterproofing and breathability. The "3D Flex System" high-rise upper unlocks your ankle full potential and natural range of motion. This shoe is also equipped with an elastic snow guard and an integrated gaiter that prevents the infiltration of external elements (snow, stones...) without hindering the natural movement of your foot. This boot merges together precision and comfort.
The Nepal Evo GTX owns a rigid sole unit, but with La Sportiva, this does not mean shock-absorption has been cast aside.Quite the opposite, the HP3 midsole and its uneven thickness and PU shock-absorber insert in the heel and under the arch is highly effective. The Vibram sole with Impact Brake System technology provides excellent grip, especially on rocks, both uphill and downhill.
The Nepal Evo GTX features a removable tongue with an integrated ventilation system, allowing you to customise your footwear. The EZ OUT system will allow you to unlock the laces in the blink of an eye.
The Nepal Evo GTX is handmade in Italy.
