If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to wear a championship winning race car on your feet, you can stop it feels like wearing the La Sportiva Stratos Cube Alpine Touring Boot, the world's lightest ATrandonee racing boot.

There's also a removable Warm Sole sock liner, which can be replaced to adjust the volume of the Cube for a better fit, and a waterproof lower foot gaiter to keep your foot comfortable during hard races and long da...
