La Sportiva Karakorum HC GTX

Size: EU 41
Colour: Mocha/Forest
Mocha/Forest

The La Sportiva Karakorum HC GTX is a traditional leather mountain boot with a modern twist. Robust and crampon compatible, yet ultra comfy and not overly heavy this boot ticks a lot of boxes!

The ankle cuff provide three lace hooks to allow even greater ankle protection and stability, while the sturdy uppers are made using single piece 2,8mm hydro repellant split leather. The Gore Tex lining guarantees that the boot is waterproof and breathable, the Vibram Impact Brake System sole absorbs negative impact with the ground and performs well both on uphill and downhill paths.

    Comfortable winter walking boot

    Have used these twice now, first walk was 24km, cold but not much snow. Boot very comfortable straight out of the box compared to my last winter boots, also warm. 2nd outing in Scottish early winter conditions involved a bit of scrambling (boots OK for this) and a brief use of crampons (Grivel G12 fit well). Very happy with them!
