What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
For everyone out there still not being sure, the LT model is a pure winter boot. I bought this in 48 even though I usually wear 47, and they feel great and comfortable. I wear them for my winter ascents, and when worn for any non-snow situation, they are definitely an overkill (at least for me). Time will show the durability side of the product, but some scratches already appeared since they appear to be very sensitive to rocks.

I have never owned a shoe from la sportiva and i was wondering about sizing. On my running shoes
(Adidas)the size is 47 1/3, on my salomon quest the size is also 47 1/3 with a good fit on the heel and enough room for the toes whilst wearing the hiking socks, also my mondo length is 29.3. According to la sportiva my size is 45,5 hence 46,5 with the size up required for mountain boots. Is that correct or should i go for the 47?
Hi sokratis,
If you are happy with the fit from Adidas and Salomon you will find the fit from La Sportiva to be a little too narrow.
Size wise I would have suggested 47.5 or 48 in this case but , we're out of stock. In the end though, it would be better to stick with brands such as Mammut , Lowa or Hanwag for a better fit for you.
I was wondering whether these boots are good for mountaineering with snow like Olympus during the winter season. Thx!
Hello !! Can you tell me which crampons are compatible with aequlibrium LT? Thank you very much !
Hi,
I wonder if these boots are good for via ferrata and long distance hiking like Everest base camp or annapurna circuit. Im looking for something versatile.
Thanks!
hello
do you know if these boots are good to try to make summer alpinism like Gran Paradiso or Mount Blanc?
Also, do you know how rigid they are in case I want to make some basic course of ice climbing?
thanks
Hey Alberto,
let's put it this way: In good conditions they would suffice for the high peaks of the Western Alps, to be on the "safe side" I'd opt for something sturdier, though.
Especially if you're looking into ice climbing as well. They're not rigid enough for a prolonged climb with the front picks of your crampons.
Best regards,
Max
