I have now got my wife into La sportiva , absolutely loves them .Feels the same way as I do , can’t see either of us ever changing to another brand . Just a great Italian shoe
These are awesome all round trail running shoe. I have used them for ultra marathon's and expedition adventure races (GODZone, Patagonia Raid). They are a stable shoe which offer good support and padding under foot for longer distance races. They are also durable enough that they don't get completely shredded when bush bashing and offer decent foot protection. They provide good grip in a range of different environments. Overall great shoe.
