Double Duty
The La Sportiva Men’s Karakorum is a classic leather boot built for the lightest of mountaineering missions and the heaviest of backpacking trips. It walks that fine line between mountaineering and backpacking thanks to a versatile design that focuses on all-day comfort. Roughout leather delivers long-lasting durability that only ripens with age. Vibram rubber and CORDURA® further reinforce the upper to make sure the boot comes out of the other side of a boulder scramble without a scratch. Underfoot, a stiff platform provides a surprising amount of cush for comfort-meets-support. La Sportiva shaped Vibram’s rubber sole with a Couloir tread for traction in higher altitudes.
