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.
Vega Catches - Numbered upwards from position 1 (toe) to 4 (upper cuff) to match buckle numbering. Sometimes with left or right designation.

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!

Do you have the longer cable buckles for the Synchro boots? I need two that a bit longer than the stock one for my calf's. They are just too big for the ones on there now. I have been using the power strap but I'd like to buckle it.
Hey Mike, we haven't been able to get any cuff buckles for the Synchro, my apologies!

The metal piece on the heal of the boot that holds the rear pins on my Spectre 2.0 (Right boot) somehow came off. Are you able to order a replacement? Thanks.
We are awaiting for more rear heel tech inserts. If you want to email us at help@skimo.co we can set up an email notification for you. Hope this helps!

Thoughts on if modding the Salomon X-Alp instep buckles with Pegasus buckles would/might possibly work?
Hey Christian, we can't guarantee that this would work as a mod, but we encourage gear hacking here at Skimo Co, so we'll give you a crisp high-five if you go for it!

Hello- would the ski/walk mechanism be compatible with the Sparkle (1st Gen)?. My left boot won't lock in to ski mode, I don't see the tab pop into the corresponding hole in the metal bar. Looks like this is the part I need, if it's compatible.
Can you still obtain the "power strap" and spoiler for Sideral 1.0 (the optional strap that goes above the main cuff buckle)? If not, are there any other straps from similar LaSportiva boots that will substitute? Do you know if Spitfire 2.0 / Syborg / Sytron uses the same spoiler/strap?
Christopher, Not sure that is still obtainable. I don't remember what the power strap looked like and cannot find any pictures. I can't tell how it attaches. Can yous end us a picture of where it would attach, to help@skimo.co.

Thanks Jeff. Will you guys have more of them in the future or do you know somewhere else I could get one? Thanks.
John, Yes those are the Synchro posn2 . That means position 2, which is the second buckle from the toe. It has a smaller buckle, but if it is the same length is the same it may work.
Does the Spitfire 2.0 Velcro Top Strap also come with the metal loop that clicks into the buckle? Also, my spitfires may be an older model - see sim photo. Is this the correct part?
Hi Tim, that is the Spitfire 1.0. Back then, it was just called the Spitfire. Unfortunately we haven't been able to get the straps for that boot in a while.

Looking for the canting rivet for a left Spectre 1.0 boot. I don't see an option in the dropdown menu... do you have any in stock right now or know where I could find one?

Suz Ball
Will the 1.0 instep wires 28-295 work to replace a broken lower buckle on the Starlet 2.0 (previous version than shown here) size 24.5? If not, which option will work?
Hey Suz! I'm thinking probably not, I think it'd be way too long. The Pegasus buckle mod is probably your best bet here.

HI I need a canting part for a Right 1st gen Spectre. I also find that the Right boot will resist going back into ski mode (issue present before the cant screw fell out), do you have replacement parts for these?
Hey Irishkoot! Canting kits are sold individually and doesn't matter which side you throw them on, though it sounds like potentially the ski/walk mech needs replacing (which it looks like we also have at the moment).

Iraklis Moisidis
I would like to ask if this accessory is available for syborg lasportiva boot
Hey Iraklis, unfortunately I don't have any of those for sale at the moment. I would contact Sportiva directly about that, it looks like it may be a warranty issue?
Hey Kund! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I don't have any at the moment and the future of those parts in our store for the rest of the season doesn't look very bright.
I need a replacement tongues for a size 29 spectra 1.0. The plastic on mine broke near the flex zone. Do you know if this part is available? If the 2.0 tongues fit that would be fine also. Thanks

Hi Anthony,
We don't have any in stock, but it's something we could potentially order for you if you'd like!
I see similar questions asked above, but I'll ask again and hope for the answer I want. I have a pair of TLT5 boots with the junk in-step buckle it came with. I see your webpage linked to the same wildsnow.com page I found about modifying boots with different buckles. I realize the boot was not designed to use the pegasus buckle, but if I were to buy one and rig it on there myself, what length would work the best? The toe buckle, or the cuff buckle?
Thanks, David

Hey David, thanks for reaching out. Tough to say exactly as it'll depend a bit on the size of boot you are wearing. Take a flexible tape measure, accessory cord, shoe lace, yarn, something along those lines, and measure from rivet hole to rivet hole on either side of the shell. Relay that info back to me and we'll get you the proper buckle size.
