There are not many activities that demand the performance of shoes as much as mountaineering does. Protection of the feet, reducing fatigue, ensuring footholds on rocky terrain... for climbers, shoes are a trusted partner that their life depends on.
A noteworthy option is "La Sportiva's "Aequilibrium." This groundbreaking model maintains high standards for mountain boots while alleviating the typical stresses of heaviness and difficulty in walking.
This time, let’s dive deep into the charm of such versatile shoes.

The Origin in the Nature-rich Dolomites
"The roots of La Sportiva lie in a shoe workshop at the foot of the Dolomites in northern Italy. The founder, Narciso Delladio, a shoemaker, created shoes for workers in the local forests and farms, and in 1960, he exhibited leather shoes at a specialized trade fair in Milan. This opened the curtain on the brand's history."
This is the statement from Makoto Nagasaki, who is responsible for PR at La Sportiva.
