![]() ![]() You can see a fine (breathable) mesh material through the PU web. La Sportiva injects a polyurethane “web” onto the mesh upper to form what it calls Nano Cells. The Nucleo is for sale now at REI, in men’s and women’s models for $199. GearJunkie got a pair to inspect for this breakdown. This year, La Sportiva upped the ante with its Nucleo hiking boot by combining Gore-Tex Surround and a proprietary feature, Nano Cells (see the web pattern on the image above). The waterproof/breathable membrane Gore-Tex Surround increases breathability in footwear. Hiking boots can get clammy, especially on warm days. But the quest for breathability in waterproof boots has taken a step forward in recent years. We hope that this article helped you in your buying process.A ‘macro membrane’ pattern serves as a visual cue (and a functional feature) on the Nucleo High GTX boot, which La Sportiva claims is its most breathable boot to date. Outside of these two complaints, this product is quite impressive. And the other complaint was that the eyelets are a little sharp and will break down the laces much quicker so purchasing laces from another vendor may be required. The one complaint that I saw pop up a couple times is that the breathability is so good that they may not be ideal for quite cold weather as there is very little heat retention provided with these shoes. The feet will stay cool and dry at the same time as a result of this. The breathability will keep the feet cool and free of blisters but the waterproofing is unlike any other. They are simple in design and look as though they are meant for serious hikers. The individual wearing them can get not only quite a bit of time per hike wearing them but also several years of usage out of them. They are made of quality materials, they are supportive and lightweight. They seem to have several very positive reviews. In conclusion, this product is worth the cost. So without further adieu, here is our review on the La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX hiking boot. This pair of shoes were also awarded Gear of the Year with Outdoor Magazine in 2017. There is nothing worse than wet socks especially if you are not equipped with a dryer or a second set of socks.

This article is a review on the very popular La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX hiking boot. The proper tread is going to ensure that you aren't slipping when attempting to get through steeper parts of the hike and the shape of the shoe should also be supportive in a way that will ensure that your ankle and heel are supported in more awkward positions. You want to ensure that you are wearing a product that isn't going to hurt or be uncomfortable halfway through your hike. ![]() This type of equipment needs to be durable, have good tread, be comfortable and be supportive. ![]() Proper hiking shoes are going to make all the difference in both the overall hike but also the impact on the body during and after the hike. There are numerous hiking boots on the market though and it is hard to know which are best for you. There are tons of reported injuries and even deaths of individuals who were hiking and climbing without proper gear. When out climbing you can experience all kinds of dangerous situations including sliding mud/rocks, downpours and steep terrain. Having a proper hiking boot can be the difference between an enjoyable hike and a potentially sticky situation. Mountain climbing and hiking can be quite dangerous though without proper equipment. Hiking can be not only a great experience but also a great form of exercise. ![]()
