FAQs
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The ergonomic shape is designed for a standard fit, but the leather upper does offer some natural stretch to accommodate various foot shapes over time.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
While the Gore-Tex membrane keeps feet dry, these are primarily trekking boots; ensure you pair them with thermal socks if using them in cold environments.
How often should I clean the boots?
Clean them after every trip in mud or dusty conditions to maintain breathability and leather integrity.
Does the Gore-Tex lining require special care?
Keep the inside clean and free of debris; avoid using harsh chemicals inside that could compromise the membrane's breathability.
Is the heel compatible with all crampons?
These are trekking boots; they are not designed for rigid technical climbing crampons. Always check compatibility with your specific traction device.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first use
This is normal for high-quality leather hiking boots; wear them around the house or on short walks to break them in gradually.
Reduced waterproof effectiveness
Ensure the leather is clean and apply a fresh layer of leather-specific water-repellent treatment to the exterior.
Outsole wearing down
The Aequilibrium series features a replaceable tread design; contact an authorized La Sportiva cobbler to have the outsoles professionally replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, treat the leather upper with a dedicated waterproof wax or conditioner periodically to maintain its suppleness and water resistance. Always clean the outsoles after muddy hikes to prevent grit from accelerating tread wear. When not in use, store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before your first long expedition, we recommend wearing the boots for several shorter walks to allow the leather to mold precisely to your foot shape.
