La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX Wide Boot - Women's

Trail-ready from the first step, the Nucleo High II GTX Wide Boot never asks you to slow down

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I took the Nucleo High II GTX Wide Boot on a multi-day loop through the Cascades and was genuinely impressed by how well they managed heat and moisture even on the climbs. The GORE-TEX Surround technology pulls warmth away from underfoot, not just the sides, which makes a real difference over a long day on the trail. My feet stayed dry through creek crossings and two solid days of intermittent rain without ever feeling like I was hiking in a sauna."

Wide feet have long been the forgotten demographic in hiking footwear, crammed into standard lasts that pinch through the forefoot and leave you counting miles instead of enjoying them. La Sportiva built the Nucleo High II GTX Wide Boot specifically for that extra volume, using their Women's Tempo Wide last, so there's genuine room through the metatarsals without sacrificing the snug heel hold that keeps you blister-free on descents.

What sets this boot apart from the crowd is the pairing of GORE-TEX Surround technology with La Sportiva's Nano-Cell insert, a combination that drives breathability not just through the sides of the boot but from the ground up. On warm days, that underfoot ventilation is a game changer, moving heat away before it has time to build. The Vibram Nano outsole with Impact Brake System handles the terrain side of things, gripping loose trail and wet rock with the kind of confidence that keeps your attention on the view rather than your footing.
