La Sportiva Mens Bushido II Trail Running Shoe

Product Information

We tested the women’s version of the updated Bushido II, but La Sportiva makes the same shoe in men's sizing. The men’s Bushido II shares the same design, overall construction, cost, and feature set as the women’s but comes in varying colorways and weighs slightly more at 1 pound 5 ounces per pair. Although we haven’t had a chance to test the men’s model, we imagine it warrants similar praise: superb traction and stability, comfortable fit, and great performance on technical trails. It comes with a Vibram Sole which provides users with astonishing grip while they run on rough terrain and trails, thus making the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor one of the most rugged running shoes in the market today. The Akyra is pricey, no doubt about it. But durability and high-quality always come at a cost, and it’s better you invest in something that will protect you when you are out there in the wild than spend it taking care of yourself in a hospital as a result of a running accident. If you can – and you well should – always create the time to thoroughly clean your La Sportiva running shoes after you complete every activity. This is to prevent the congealing of unwanted stains and the hardening or caking of mud on your running shoes. Several outdoor elements can wreak havoc on the structural integrity of the La Sportiva fabric; therefore, keep them off your running shoes.

Breathable runners help the feet to remain cool and dry even as they are tasked with the job of continually pounding on the terrain as you cover the miles every day. Ventilation and breathability are highly crucial since these attributes prevent chafing and the formation of blisters. A lot of trail shoes out there are not too breathable. However, you can count on La Sportiva as one of the known brands that do not sacrifice breathability in all its outstanding line of products. Stability The soft materials are snug, yet gentle on your feet while the icing on the cake is the super-stable soles which have made La Sportiva footwear the household name it is today.

There are no marketing, sales figures or production quota team. The heritage and tradition of La Sportiva make it one of the most loved and highly respected company in the trail running footwear industry. The Crossover 2.0 GTX has a fine-looking but simple lacing system and the grip zone – which is the best feature this stunning trail running footwear showcases – is designed to help users negotiate icy and snowy conditions. Rigidity and stability are the attributes that both mountain and fell runners look for when searching for an appropriate running shoe that will fuel their passions.

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor is built to last for thousands of miles, and that probably explains why it is also on the expensive side of the scale. This is another vegan-friendly, leading edge configuration from the La Sportiva brand, and is constructed for the 21st-century lifestyle. The Akasha trail running shoe comes with a high-cushioned sole and built with top-quality material. The leather is best referred to as a long-lasting and highly durable material. I wore the Bushido trail runners on every adventure for five weeks. I ran the rim of Tsegi Canyon in Navajo National Monument. I trekked over Pitamakan and Triple Divide Passes where I scoped mountain goats and stood my ground just 50 feet from a grizzly bear. The La Sportiva Bushido shoes saw me through some high times and a few unforgettable moments, and performed well. Revelation: The Moment I Knew Nevertheless, these running shoes do the job they are designed for, and that is to ensure every user has an enjoyable experience while hitting the trails without fear or favor.This running shoe comes at a relatively steep price, though only a few people are complaining about the cost. It can run, but it can swim, too. This was the moment I knew the Bushido would be a trusted partner for the following weeks in Montana and beyond. Digging Deeper The La Sportiva Helios SR running shoe offers these qualities while the design provides real comfort. This ensures that you will not hurt your feet as you run up the trail or hillside. This is a lightweight trail running shoe which is a newer version in the Helios line and comes with extra padding as well as a unique lacing system. However, it remains one of the most efficient and compact running shoes in this category. The mesh allows ample ventilation properties while the in-built impact brake system is cherished and highly valuable for runners who make sudden turns or twists on the trails.
