The Aequilibrium LT GTX is a heavy-load alpine hiking boot that strikes the perfect balance between comfort and technicality, lightweight and durable for modern mountaineering, perfect for backpacking and multi-day hikes at altitude.
The revolutionary structure of the Double Heel™heel provides exceptional walkability: The prominent double-block rear design improves downhill braking and allows for a more fluid roll, decreasing muscle fatigue so you can go for longer.
Due to the innovative outsole/midsole package with external Rubber Guard™shell structure and inside foam material for emphasised cushioning and lightweight derived from fewer usage of rubber layers, durability and lightweight coexist in harmony.
The Ergonomic form is enveloping and precise, with TPU shells in the toe and heel to reinforce the uppers. The 3D Flex System Evo™ directional joint, which features a curved malleolus and abrasion resistance, offers for superior ankle support and mobility. Vibram® tread with Impact Brake System lugs for increased hard-rock adaptation.
