Less is more! La Sportiva went to work on the VK BOA to eliminate any unnecessary weight that could even remotely slow you down. The end result is their lightest mountain running shoe yet! The VK BOA is a performance-driven race day shoe ready to tackle steep climbs at uncompromising speed. A simple, intuitive BOA system - combined with a knitted upper - ensures a dial-based precise fit that wraps the foot. A well defined heel cup eliminates heel lift and a toe bumper protects you when charging hard. The outsole features the mega-sticky FriXion XF 2.0 rubber only where needed in order to shave weight. The La Sportiva VK BOA is a highly specialized shoe designed to count grams, haul ass, and rack up medals!
SkyRun Fit Tip - La Sportiva running shoes run small, but stay consistent in their running line. We recommend sizing up one-half size from your measured size.
- BOA system makes for a quick, easy, and precise fit.
- Outsole is minimalism at its best - sticky rubber and effective lugs placed only where it’s needed!
- Heel cup maintains quality fit and toe bumper protects from rocks and painful stubbing.
- Mesh uppers feature Sock-Like™ Compression via Bi-elastic mesh so that they’re comfortable but perform well.
