La Sportiva's Makalu Mountaineering Boot delivers peak performance with classic style, whether we're grabbing one of the tallest summits in the world or trekking into the backcountry under a heavy pack. The full-length steel shank and resilient cushioning stabilize and soften our steps, keeping our feet spry and morale high as we push through grit-building conditions. When ice tries to stand in our way, the rugged sole bites hard and welcomes crampons.
