Lighter and more agile than La Sportiva's Aequilibrium mountaineering boots, the Aequilibrium Hike GTX is a lightweight hiking boot with plenty of stability for the trail. This mid-cut is light and walkable while still providing plenty of protection with its abrasion-resistant and water-resistant uppers, durable and breathable GORE-TEX waterproofing, and Vibram outsoles for excellent traction, especially on steep descents, where most serious falls occur.
