A Vibram® Nano sole with La Sportiva’s Impact Brake System provides traction and grip.Īccording to Jakob Schiller, who led the hiking footwear test for Outside, “We see a lot of specialty boots, which each have their place, but we loved the Nucleo because it’s the perfect all-arounder. The STB control system™ in the boot’s upper wraps the midsole in the medial zone increasing torsion resistance and providing a comfortable, snug fitting, and stable boot. Nubuck leather uppers provide protection while Nano Cell™ inserts deliver maximum breathability by working with the Gore-Tex membrane to drive moisture away from the bottom of the foot. The Nucleo High GTX is a light and fast high-cut hiking boot with durable leather uppers and Gore-Tex Surround® for the best breathability in a waterproof boot. Via our retail partner, REI, hikers now have a stable leather boot that breathes exceptionally well.” With that in mind, we developed the Nucleo to hit that part of the market and we’re delighted that Outside recognized how effective this product is for that segment. “However, the meat of the hiking boot market here in the US is still leather boots under $200. “We debuted Gore-Tex Surround in our hiking line two years ago in models that were all synthetic and they were very successful,” said Jonathan Lantz, president of La Sportiva North America. Presented annually to the best products in their class, Gear of the Year is the coveted stamp of approval for outdoor products.
