Feature Analysis of La Sportiva Boulder X

1. Approach Shoe

The La Sportiva Men’s Boulder X approach shoes feature Vibram Idro-Grip sticky rubber, which keeps the shoe sticky even in rainy season. Additional padding underfoot offers comfort for long approaches. For safety, it has all-leather upper and sticky rubber toe rands.

2. Durable leather upper

To ensure a long lifespan, the upper is made with Roughout lather which is extremely durable and has double stitched seams. A sticky slingshot rubber rand increases foot protection on rough and rocky surfaces and eliminates stretch for a secure fit.

3. Impact brake system

La Sportiva’s Boulder X uses their Impact Brake system, which reduces up to 20% of the impact forces acting on the feet, legs and back with each step while walking on hard ground.

Final Verdict

The Boulder X shoe offers outstanding performance that can cope with all weather conditions without compromising the comfort and durability. Due to the superb durability and comfort, the shoe is significantly heavier than most approach shoes.

However, the upper leather, midsole, Insole and sole are made for giving you perfect friction. The shoe provides utmost secure fit as it comes with Mythos lacing system.

We recommend the La Sportiva Boulder X is one of the best go-everywhere and do-everything approach shoe. If you seek an affordable shoe that does everything well, but places more emphasis on hiking comfort and traction rather than top-notch climbing ability and lightweight, look no further.
