La Sportiva have continued to build on their ski mountaineering range and long history of technical footwear design and manufacture with an impressive line up of boots tailored specifically to the demands of ski mountaineering
Spectre - The Lightest 4 Buckle SkiMo Boot On The Market
La Sportiva kept working, kept innovating, and kept asking how they could make a 4 buckle ski boot work for ski mountaineers the world over that are pushing the limits of downhill performance. Born from Stratos technology, the Spectre is the no compromise result combining four-buckle downhill performance with two-buckle touring comfort and ease on the up. The shell is made of lightweight Grilamid® while the Carbon reinforced Vertebra Technology™ drives the powerful 120 flex downhill performance. A large 60° range of motion and EZ Flex tongue make for an incredible walking experience and make the boot great for technical climbing while the exclusive, low-profile Pegasus buckle system allows macro and micro adjustability for a precise fit. The Spectre is the best of La Sportiva innovation applied to a four buckle touring boot.
Sparkle - The Lightest Womens 4 Buckle Ski boot On The Market
The same features which make the Spectre a great boot but with a slightly different liner tailored for a female fit. Grilamid® shell, carbon reinforced Vertebra Technology™, Pegasus buckle system and a wide range of motion in walk mode.
Spitfire - Light & Stiff 2 Buckle Boot
The Grilamid® shell and Carbon Reinforced Polymer CRP Cuff™ keep weight to a minimum. La Sportiva's patent pending Fast Lock System™ consists of unique Vertebra Technology™, a hardwearing ergonomic power structure that works like a backbone alongside the innovative Cam Closure System™, which allows for the transition from ski to walk mode in just one super-fast motion. Freedom of movement reaches exceptional levels of 68 degrees thanks to the EZ Flex™ system incorporated into the Pebax® tongue while the shell's ergonomic profile facilitates the walk mode and enhances the general level of comfort allowing power to be conveyed directly to the skis. The removable WarmSole™ insole creates an insulating barrier against cold and make this one of the warmest boots in the two-buckle category.
Sideral - All round 2 Buckle SkiMo Boot
Using the same design as the Spitfire but with a polyamide/nylon cuff providing softer flex characteristics and a lower price point the Sideral maintains the key features of La Sportiva's patent pending Fast Lock System™ and Vertebra Technology™ along with a wide 68 degrees range of movement in walk mode. The innovative Cam Closure System™ allows for the transition from ski to walk mode in just one movement. Sideral: A technical product for a wide range of ski mountaineers.
Starlet - All Round Womens Specific SkiMo Boot
The same design as the Sideral but built on a women's specific last. The Starlet maintains the key features of La Sportiva's patent pending Fast Lock System™ and Vertebra Technology™ along with a wide 68 degrees range of movement in walk mode.
