New for La Sportiva's 2022 lineup is the Vanguard touring boot. This touring beast utilizes a new v-shape cuff design that makes getting into the boot and transitioning between modes extremely easy. It's eco-friendly too, with a shell and cuff comprised of Pebax Rnew construction.

The Vanguard is a stout touring boot that has a high flex rating of 130 to drive skis with power and precision on the downhill. On the up track, it feels more like a two-buckle boot thanks to its impressive 63-degree range of motion.

Comfiest boot of the world (for me)

After a heavy heel surgery due a bike accident, I had to change the way I intend skimo. I make more or less 50.000m/per year. Had to trouble (a lot) with F1, Maestrales, Hoji and Radical Pros, and one day I found the Vanguard... This boot made me and my feet happy. I'm 28,0 cm on the brannock, gone with 28,0 Vanguard (28,5 shell). Fit is amazing, the liner hugs feet with a snug but never painful force. Boot is light, tours amazingly with an incredible rom for the category. On the up is light and climbs smoothly. On the down is on par with a medium-high flex alpine ski boot, better than any of other AT boots I've tried (and are many, many boots...). The look is awesome. Buckles are a bit finicky, but you become used to it. No troubles at the moment. Bought a second pair, new in the box, in case they stop production in the future... Absolutely recommended, top top top boot (for me). In my hardest day I've put 3000m d+ on them, flawlessly. Thanks LaSpo, thanks...
