Stratos VI
The sixth generation of La Sportiva’s most celebrated full-carbon ski mountaineering race boot, it represents the most advanced model available on the market. Carbon geometries and lamination are designed to minimize weight and volume for a compact hull that allows the foot to work in unison with the boot to impart maximum control of movement, perfect power transmission and direct, precise action on the ski. Increased protection and compatibility with all types of crampons thanks to Spur Heel Construction . Toe and heel meet the ISFM standard.
Recommended retail price: €1,900.00
Raceborg II
Designed for international ski mountaineering competitions, Raceborg II represents a perfect racing machine made by combining Grilamid and carbon fiber. Its race nature is also evidenced in the locking system, now derived directly from Stratos VI: essential, reliable, fast. The upper flap, which offers customizable multi-adjustment, and the lower micrometric Spider Ratchet closure, allow you to best adapt the fit of the boot to your foot and be able to safely unload power on the descent. The La Sportiva RaceGrip sole meets ISMF standards and provides fantastic traction during walking phases.

Skorpius CR II
When the summit is the goal, Skorpius CR II is the ideal companion to reach it. Lightness on the ascent, maximum performance and stiffness on the descent: the Skorpius CR II is the boot designed for the most demanding ski mountaineers capable of tackling significant elevation changes in technical terrain and in the most remote places. The innovative design of the hull, made of bio-based Pebax Rnew and reinforced with carbon fibers, makes it possible to reduce the thicknesses of the materials used and the weight without compromising structural strength. The boot is enhanced by the Boa Fit System, which allows micrometric adjustment of the hull closure, offering great precision on both ascent and descent. Swing-lock pivot locking mechanism allows for fast and effective locking.

Vanguard
Maximum power on the descent, lightness and comfort on the ascent-a perfect balance that makes Vanguard the modern boot for the demanding ski mountaineer. Designed for both touring and freetouring activities, thanks to its innovative design and special cuff construction with V-Shape technology, Vanguard is as solid and responsive as other boots designed for freeride and alpine skiing. Made of plastics combined with carbon and glass fibers, it allows perfect transmission of precision and power to the ski, combined with high wear resistance and incredible lightness. By using Pebax Bio-Based Rnew 1100 bio-compatible material, the boot ensures a greater concern for the environment. Ultralon inner bootie and highly durable Vibram® V-Lug outsole complete a state-of-the-art product.
