The La Sportiva Aequilibrium ST GTX is a men’s mountaineering boot designed for technical alpine terrain. Category C stiffness and a regular fit make it suitable for climbers tackling steep rock and mixed snow routes, offering the support needed on demanding mountain approaches.
Built with a synthetic upper, this boot balances durability and weight, while the Gore-Tex membrane ensures feet stay dry without trapping sweat. The Vibram sole delivers reliable grip on rocky and uneven surfaces, and the 3D Flex System EVO under the arch combines torsional firmness for stability with forward flex for a more natural stride when walking.
Category C refers to a stiff sole rated for use with technical crampons and provides the rigidity required on steep ice or rock. Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable membrane that prevents external moisture from entering while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape. The Vibram rubber compound is known for abrasion resistance and traction, and the 3D Flex System EVO is a molded insert that controls sideways twist yet permits forward bending—helpful when transitioning between hiking and more technical climbing moves.
