La Sportiva Spire Gore-Tex W

The i-Run team says

Technologies

• Impact Brake System

  This innovative system is applied to the sole so that it absorbs negative ground impact, boosts traction on ascents, and improves grip on descents. The unique positioning of the studs allows as many of them as possible to be in contact with the ground, ensuring optimal impact absorption.

• STB Control

  The Stability Control Guard process is a stabilization system that prevents foot twisting to secure each stride.

• Gore-Tex Surround

  The exclusive Gore-Tex Surround technology guarantees unprecedented waterproofing and breathability. For the first time, the breathable surface also extends to the underside of the foot for 360° breathability. A special waterproof and breathable layer, placed under the foot, promotes cross ventilation that helps to evacuate moisture, ensuring a consistently dry foot and optimal dynamic climate comfort.

• Vibram XS-Trek

  It combines performance, flexibility, and grip, particularly on wet surfaces. Suitable for all situations, the Vibram XS-Trek outsole is ideal both on hiking trails, in the city, or for indoor activities.

• EVA compression

  The classic EVA midsoles, compression-molded, offer durability and responsiveness on soft terrain where the need for shock absorption is reduced.

• Nano Cells 2.0

  The La Sportiva Mountain Hiking line is made with exclusive Nano Cells 2.0 technology: a particular type of construction consisting of breathable cells surrounding the upper, making it more structured and facilitating moisture evacuation during dynamic phases.
