The durable Vibram tread looks more like something we'd normally find on an overlander vehicle while the tall lace-up build keeps our ankles protected. Nucleo is part of La Sportivas DNA and they have made the Nucleo GTX as a dedication to their lightweight hiking prestige. To my surprise, again my torso and feet stayed stayed dry. The La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX Wide Boot is what we strap up when we're getting ready for intense hikes in the backcountry. 0.1 miles into the hike to the tunnel (turns out the lighthouse was closed due to COVID), there was a torrential downpour of rain. Once we made it back to the car, we decided to check out the Point Bonita Lighthouse before we made our way back to San Francisco.

My legs, unfortunately, did not fair as well. We got hit by some rain at Kirby Cove, but luckily my Roseg Primaloft jacket kept my torso nice and dry while the Nucleo High II GTX kept my feet nice and cozy. Walter and I went for a day hike in the Marin Headlands to Kirby Cove in early December and experienced light drizzles for most of the hike up until we reached Kirby Cove.

The Nucleo High II GTX features a traditional Nubuck leather look, which absolutely makes the design of the boots.
