La Sportiva's Ganda Guide

Want something that does it all? Look no further, the Ganda Guide has turned out to be packed with ability. From long approaches to technical fith class climbs; the Ganda Guide is for those who want to be efficent and keep one pair of shoes on thier feet all day long. Check out what our guide Eric Whewell has to say about them:

"I have had numerous pairs of La Sportiva approach shoes. The Ganda Guide, is by far the most technical. This shoe is similar to the Ganda, but in a high top version and comes with a roomier toe box for long approaches. So far, the shoe has great support when carrying a heavy pack on fourth and easy fifth class terrain. It features a full length lace system right down to the toes for micro adjustments in tightness. The shoes utilize Vibram Idro-Grip for ultra stickiness with a slip lasted forefoot and board lasted heel.

For how beefy the shoe is, it basically climbs like a rock shoe. I have been able to lead up to 5.9 and follow 5.10 in these shoes. They climb great and are comfortable enough for long approaches. I suspect that these will hold up to seasons of guiding abuse and see many resoles!"
