The la sportiva g2 sm blablack/yellow boots are high-altitude double boots featuring the Boa system. These incredibly warm double boots, known as Gasherbrum 2, were developed in collaboration with renowned Italian climber Simone Moro. They're the perfect choice for extreme mountain ascents and for those who have to work in low temperatures for extended periods.

This model utilizes the Boa system, which provides maximum comfort while navigating challenging terrains. The technology allows you to adjust the boot's fit in two areas: across the foot and at the upper part (the shaft).

This is pretty convenient because, when tackling steep vertical surfaces, you need to secure your foot snugly while having a tighter fit at the upper part (the shin area). Furthermore, the Boa technology enables you to fasten and unfasten the boot with one hand – a significant advantage in extremely low temperatures.

The model name translates to "Gasherbrum II Simone Moro." During his winter expedition to Gasherbrum II, one of the world's strongest climbers, Simone Moro, tested the new La Sportiva G2 SM boots.
