Having a good time climbing over miles of house-sized boulders it gets a lot easier when we put on the La Sportiva Boulder X Approach sneakers. Even with a heavy expedition pack, the sticky rubber tread and shock braking system give us confidence on wet or dry rock.
With two layers of soft EVA in the insole and midsole, these shoes help us get through the rough ride to camp without bruising or blistering. For the toughest approaches, the leather upper and rubber toe can withstand foot dragging and rock pounding and mesh lining covering the tongue and rear foot adds breathability to summer rock hops.
