Classic Approach Shoe for Men

Take your hiking and climbing experience to new heights with the La Sportiva Boulder X, a classic approach shoe designed for men seeking both comfort and performance. This shoe ensures you can hike into your climbing spot over rugged terrain, providing you with the necessary support and protection.

Fit and Sizing

The Boulder X has a slim fit and runs slightly smaller than standard sizes. We recommend purchasing half a size up for the best fit. The medium foot volume ensures a secure feel on unstable terrain, giving you confidence in your chosen path.

Durable Protection

The all-leather upper material and sticky rubber toe cap provide durable protection against the rigors of mountain environments. The Vibram Idrogrip sole, known for its sticky rubber compounds, ensures confident traction whether you're on rock or trail, even when conditions are wet.

Comfort and Performance

The solid EVA midsole, above a 2mm polypropylene insole, offers excellent protection while maintaining comfort on technical approaches. The 2mm insole adds an extra layer of cushioning, ensuring your feet remain comfortable throughout the hike.

Innovative Lacing System

The La Sportiva full-length Mythos lacing system extends down to the toe cap, providing a highly adaptable and customizable fit. The rear tab makes it easy to pull on or clip the shoe to a carabiner, enhancing convenience and safety during outdoor activities.
