This is the place to find replacement boots parts for La Sportiva ski boots. You can also use some of these parts on other boots if you’re in a mod’ing mood. Sportiva uses a numbering system for their buckles, whereby "position 1" means a toe buckle, counting upwards to "position 4" which means the top cuff buckle on four buckle boots. Most of these parts are sold individually unless otherwise noted.
Pegasus Buckles - Replacement buckles for the Spectre and Sparkle boots. Simple lightweight buckles that can be adapted to other boots as well. Catches are sold separately. See Used Boot parts for more Spectre buckles.
Pegasus Buckle Catches - The catches for the Pegasus buckles described above.
Sparkle Lower Buckle pos1 - Buckle that goes across your toe.
Sparkle Upper Buckle pos4 - Buckle that is the upper most buckle on the cuff of the boot.
Vega Ski/Walk Mechanism - Complete replacement of the ski walk mechanism including lever, catch, and latch. Sold in left or right configurations.
Vega Toe Buckle pos1 - 1st buckle at the toe of you boot.
Vega Instep Buckle pos2 - 2nd buckle up from the toe over your instep.
Vega Lower Cuff Buckle pos3 - 3rd buckle up from the bottom. Lowest cuff buckle that tightens around the ankle.
Vega Upper Cuff Buckle pos4 - Top buckle on the upper most part of the cuff.

Hi, do you have a replacement cuff rivot for the right inside boot (Spectre 1.0)?
We don't have any of the Spectre pivots left. Might have parts that would work, but hard to say without having one in hand.

The boot bed (bed of the boot that the liners sit on top of) of my specter boots seems to be disintegrating. I got them second hand, so im not sure if the previous owner just never let them dry out or what happened. Does anyone else have Experence with this? Can I order replacements, or is there another good way to fix them?
The spitfire ski/walk mech should work. We only have the right one in stock, but looks like from your photo that's the one you need!

Hi! I have a pair of La Sportiva Sparkle boots. The yellow plastic part of the walk/ski mechanism has broken. Do you have a part for this that also could work for Sparkle? I know they stopped making them a few years ago. Cheers, Åsne
Asne, The Vega Ski/walk mechanism is the same as the old Spectre/Sparkle boots. The lever is only sold as the whole kit.

Hi, I'm looking for a replacement buckle for my La Sportiva Sparkle ski boots. It's the instep buckle (position 2). I don't see it on your list of available boot parts. Do you know if you'll be getting any in stock any time soon?
Margaret, Sorry, La Sportiva doesn't have anymore. We have acquired a few random buckles as they find a few. But unless they make more (they haven't made a boot with the Pegasus buckles for about 3 years), we don't expect to see anymore.

I am wondering if you have replacement tr2 tech fittings (heel) for the Spectre 2.0? (The metal pieces that continue the DIN shelf) I am missing both from one boot and am struggling to find replacements.
Hi Ryan, unfortunately, we don't have any of those pieces. Your best bet might be to reach out to Sportiva directly.

Ryan, I have a pair of old Spectre 2.0 shells I could pry that piece off of and send it to you if you're still looking.

HELLO, I contacted La Sport and they sent me to you since they no longer have this part. seems like long shot but I figured I would ask. Im looking for the Ski/walk mechanism for a Spitfire 1.0 boot. The one I have broke an I think the only way to fix it is with a new part.
You may be in luck! If you can send us an email to help@skimo.co with a few more photos and let us know which boot (left or right) is damaged we can go from there. Hope this helps!

Hi--I've been looking for over a year to find a replacement position three (ankle) buckle for my Spectre 2 boot. Sportiva just emailed me back saying that the new Vega replacement buckles will fit my boot and they listed Skimo and Bergs as having the Vegas. I don't see them listed in the pull-down menu above. Do you have them (or expect to)? Also, do you sell them individually or as part of a comprehensive retrofit set? Bergs seems only to sell the whole kit of buckles and ladders for replacement of all buckles for $89, when I only need one buckle and not the ladder. THANKS!
Thanks for your question, Ethan. We are expecting to get replacement Vega buckles, however, we don't have a timeline for when we might get the 3rd position buckle. If you like to be notified when it does arrive into stock, please send us an email to hel@skimo.co!
Hello, unfortunately we have not been able to get any of these buckles recently, my apologies!

Hi, I am looking to replace the black plastic teeth on the back of the Styron boot. These teeth interact with the green lever to hold the ankle in place.
Hey Henry, thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, this is not a part that we have been able to get ahold of, but you could reach out to La Sportiva directly and see if there's anything they might be able to do!
Liza- We do not have any of those parts available for Syborg boots. You might be able to fashion something yourself out of some softer thin steel.

I'm looking for a replacement piece for my red Siderals... the forward-lean 'plate'. The plate that's installed in my boots currently are too aggressive/forward of a stance - and I know that they are usually sold with 3 swap-out-able plates for 3 different forward lean settings. So I'm looking for a 'plate' which allows a more relaxed/upright stance...
Unfortunately, we do not have that part in stock! I would recommend reaching out to La Sportiva directly.

Hi—do you have position 3 buckles for a Spectre 2 boot? One of mine got crushed during the off-season somehow. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm writing you down from Patagonia! is there a way to purchase some spare parts for the Spectre Boots and then you send them to Argentina? Thanks!
Hope you're having a great winter season down there! We ship almost everywhere on the planet, and definitely to Argentina! You'll see what shipping options are available in the checkout screen, and I would highly reccomend upgrading the shipping because USPS has been restricting international shipping during the past few months. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help!
Hey Igor, unfortunately we don't have the Pegasus (Spectre) instep buckle in stock any more, I'd suggest reaching out to the good folks at La Sportiva for a replacement!

Hello, The horizontal pin at the left heel of my Syborg boot came of today. So the lever for ski/walk-mode has nothing to pop into. Do you know if this part/kit is available? Thanks
Uh oh, that's not good! We unfortunately have not been able to get that part from La Sportiva, so you may need to reach out to them directly. It may be worthy of a warranty case!
