Made with durable and attractive nubuck leather, the La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX is a mid-duty hiking boot appropriate for both day hiking and backpacking. This waterproof hiking boot gives us best-in-class breathability with its GORE-TEX Surround waterproof membrane, ventilating Nano Cell side inserts, and special insoles, which work in concert to allow moisture vapor to escape in all directions, including underfoot. The Vibram rand, toe cap, and outsoles also provide excellent protection and traction on the trail for an elevated hiking experience.
