Mountaineering boots have evolved through decades of constant improvement in design and materials. And yes, leather is still a highly valued material choice in high-end mountaineering boots.La Sportive Nepal Evo GTX mountaineering boots are the result of the best materials and technology available to climbers who dare to dream…who dream of the summit.
Both the men and women’s Nepal Evo GTX boots use 3.2mm silicone-impregnated Idro-Perwanger Roughout Leather and Gore-Tex Duratherm lining. Nepal Evo GTX boots are completely waterproof with the warmth your feet must have at severe mountain altitudes. The boot tounges use breathable materials and construction to manage moisture.
New, patented, 3-D flexible ankle system hinges give the mountaineer the rigidity and mobility needed, when it’s needed. A new tapered HP3 midsole uses shock absorbing PU inserts under the heel and ball of the foot. Another innovation uses an Impact Brake System (IBS) designed with Vibram to lessen impacts on hard ground and increase traction.
The Women’s Nepal Evo GTX uses all the same technology as the men’s version, but tailored to women’s foot structure. Tailored using a women’s foot-last (template), the women’s model is designed for a more flexible, graded midsole, to work better with lighter body weight.
