"A lightweight backpacking boot with an incredible Italian fit and women's-specific last, the La Sportiva Thunder GTX is waterproof, supportive and rugged with a Vibram outsole to boot. Slip it on and feel the support over the top of your foot and in the heel. Enjoy the lightweight running shoe feel of the Trailon midsole suspension and the awesome traction of the Vibram outsole. The ultralight backpacking movement has spawned a legion of lightweight backpacking boots designed to support moderate loads while being supple enough to sprint down the trail. The Thunder GTX is at the top of the heap in this class. A Nubuck leather upper ensures durability and classic good looks, while the insole's half steel shank protects tender feet from trail obstacles. A Gore-Tex lining ensures bomber waterproofing for those unexpected stream crossings. La Sportiva details like a rubber toe rand and molded heel reinforcement make this fast and light boot stand out in a crowd. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY."

"La Sportiva got it right with the Thunder GTX. Its durability has proved itself through the rugged terrain of the White Mountains, the muddy banks of Vancouver Islands West Coast Trail, and two weeks of intense backcountry bushwacking in the Grand Canyon."

"Just about everything you need in a boot. Guiding big game clients through the Rockies in Co. and Nm. can be rough on your footwear; and these are standing up beautifully. The rand protects your toes, the soles don't gum up as much as others, they lace great."
