Since making its debut nearly a decade ago, the Spark XV has served as the benchmark for backcountry boots. Developed and continually refined by Xavier de Le Rue, this legendary boot offers exceptional support, lively boardfeel, and precise control for hiking, skinning, and riding. And although the Spark XV is designed to handle the most extreme conditions in the backcountry, it excels in any terrain. To further enhance the boot’s signature performance, we’ve infused the Spark XV with our all-new Stage 4 liner, Freeride Tongue, and a rubber toe cap that maximizes durability. Make no compromises with the Spark XV.
