Men's over−the−ankle, all synthetic trail assault vehicle with highly breathable Gore−Tex® Surround™ Technology designed for moving fast on all types of hiking terrain.
The Core High GTX is from a new line of footwear by La Sportiva, designed for fast−paced hiking and trekking with a lighter, more comfortable and breathable construction, without losing out on water−proofing capacity.
By using new Gore−Tex® Surround™ technology, the Core High GTX is able to provide 360º breathability allowing your foot to breathe in every direction.
As its name suggests, Gore−Tex® Surround™ is a waterproof and breathable membrane that surrounds the whole foot and allows increased capacity. With 1,400 million microscopic pores in every square centimeter, the pores in this membrane are much smaller than a drop of water and much larger than a water vapour molecule. In this way the drop of water is unable to get through, while body moisture is easily wicked to the outer surface.
A spacer with an open structure is placed between the sock−like Gore−Tex® Surround™ membrane and the midsole to enhance breathability underfoot, without losing out on cushioning.
The compressed EVA midsole absorbs impact for greater comfort and prevents vibration. The boot is finished with a mesh structure for enhanced breathability and comfort and this is wrapped by a lightweight and flexible Nano Cell structure for increased support and comfort.
The lower section of the upper uses a textile with smaller cells to prevent particles from entering and reducing breathability of the Gore−Tex® Surround™ membrane.
The Vibram® outer sole has the same pattern as that used for the Ultra Raptor; using similar studs and with the Impact Brake System for improved grip and traction.
- Gore−Tex® Surround™ Technology allows 360 degree breathability
- STB™ Technology stabilizes the foot by wrapping the midsole and unifying the midsole with the upper for the perfect locked−down fit
- Tempo last
- AirMesh upper with Nano−Cell™ direct injection & PU Leather
- Compression Molded EVA midsole with TPU Inserts
- Vibram® Nano with Impact Brake System™

Gore−Tex® Surround™
The ideal solution for outdoor activities in moderate and warmer conditions, thanks to its increased breathability. The open construction allows moisture and warmth to escape from below the foot through the Gore−Tex® laminate into the open structure of a spacer, and from there out of the shoe via side ventilation outlets. As a result, your feet are drier. Dry feet enhance your sense of well−being and reduce the risk of blisters and chafing.
Several lab and field tests show a significant reduction of relative skin humidity during a 3.5 hour hike including short breaks. Shoes with Gore−Tex® Surround remove sweat faster. The result is dry feet, both from the inside and the outside.
