W La Sportiva Cyklon Cross GTX

Our Take 

The Cyklon Cross GTX is one of those niche shoes that is absolutely amazing when the conditions are nasty, whether that be pouring rain and muddy or snowing.  Often in heavy rain, and definitely in snow, you always get wet down your sock into the shoe.  With the built in water-repellent gaiter you have so much more protection against the elements.  One staff uses the shoe for snowshoeing and even though you don’t get too experience the impressive grip (and it is impressive!), the high cuff is perfect for not letting snow down into your shoe.

A slim fit that wraps your fit like a glove, in part thanks to the BOA® Fit System, this shoe fits similar to other La Sportiva models where we recommend going up half a size.
