Exclusive to La Sportiva, this material is complemented by a high-density PEE thermoformable liner, offering personalized comfort and a perfect fit.

The FriXion Wave Alpine outsole, combined with an internal Warmsole platform, ensures superior grip and excellent thermal insulation, making the La Sportiva Kilo ideal for the most demanding conditions. Equipped with two technopolymer buckles and a power strap, this shoe ensures secure and precise support, essential for technical descents.
