La Sportiva

Hailing from the Italian Dolomites, La Sportiva builds gear for the most demanding mountain environments. While they are legends in the high peaks, their trail running shoes are built for the grit, mud, and rock we face every day.

The Specs

• Aggressive lug patterns that bite into the softest East Coast mud.
• Durable uppers that can withstand the constant abrasion of granite and roots.
• Precision fit that offers total control on steep, off-camber descents.

The Verdict
When the trail turns to slick granite and mud, La Sportiva provides the bite and durability needed to stay upright and moving fast.
