Why We Love The Boulder X Approach Shoe
When it comes to navigating challenging terrains like house-sized boulders, the La Sportiva Boulder X Approach Shoe is our top choice. Its exceptional features make it easier for us to tackle long distances, even with a heavy expedition pack. The shoe's sticky rubber tread and impressive Impact Brake System instill confidence on both wet and dry rock surfaces. The two layers of soft EVA in the footbed and midsole provide unmatched comfort, ensuring we can go from the car to camp without experiencing any bruising or blistering. Additionally, the shoe's leather upper and rubber toe rand are designed to withstand foot dragging and stone kicking during demanding approaches. The mesh liner covering the tongue and rear-foot also offers breathability during the scorching summer months of rock hopping.
