A very light approach shoe designed specially to be clipped to your harness and carried up a route for the descent. It has reasonable grip and protection whilst still being very lightweight and good for any scrambling required on the approach or the descent.
Designed for mountain walk-ins and for hooking onto a harness with the C2 Combo Cord™ system which allows you to store your shoes quickly and compactly, it meets the needs of grip, protection, minimum volume and lightness of weight required in technical approaches and during multi-pitch routes. This version has a resolable tread (only at an authorised La Sportiva resoler) that doubles its life cycle and uses recycled materials for a lower environmental impact. The upper is seamless and very enveloping due to the integrated tongue that eliminates gaps and wraps the foot for maximum comfort and protection. The fabric used for the upper, the laces, the Ortholite® Hybrid Approach footbed and part of the EVA of the midsole are also made with recycled and vegan friendly materials. It has a Vibram® IdroGrip sole with climbing zone designed for maximum grip on technical terrain.
- Essential design uppers with no stitching. The “knitted” fabric allows to obtain a construction with different degrees of elasticity within the same fabric.
- The all-round protective coating ensures high abrasion resistance and low weight.
- Single layer uppers provide enhanced comfort and breathability.
- Vibram® IdroGrip sole with climbing zone designed for maximum grip on technical terrain.
- C2 Combo Cord™ system allows shoes to be clipped compactly to your harness.
- Glues used are non-animal so La Sportiva say these shoes are suitable for vegans.
