TECHNOLOGY:

 

FRIXION XT: There are different sized studs in the sole, which improve stability in all situations, according to the shoe position: on back roads, uphill and downhill, as well as both soft and hard ground.

 

HIGH VOLUME: Comfortable shoes, ideal for long distance training and racing.

 

ORTHOLITE® MR: 5 mm thick mountain running sole for the best possible comfort. The main characteristics are:

  • Serious breathability for superior comfort thanks to its arch ventilation
  • Encourages sweat evaporation, keeping the foot dry
  • Long lifespan thanks to technology that prevents excessive wear of the material
  • Antibacterial treatment and washable products for better overall foot hygiene

 

ALL GROUND: Versatile sole, perfect on all terrains, from stones to grass, mud and moss. Ideal for running on wet and dry ground.

 

Ultra Long Distance: Ideal for long distances, ultra-trails and ultra-marathons or for demanding training sessions. Cushioning and protection.

 

INJECTED MIDSOLE: High level of cushioning and stretchy fabric. These features assist push off during the propulsion phase while running, making these models ideal for use on off-road trails. EVA injected midsoles drastically reduce the squash effect of EVA over time, allowing the product to maintain the same characteristics and high performance for its entire duration.

 

IMPACT BRAKE SYSTEM: The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. Created and developed by La Sportiva R&D department, the Impact Brake System provides real racing advantages by reducing the negative impact on the ground. The unique position of the studs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.

BRAKE: increased braking effect/greater traction.

IMPACT: improved shock absorption on impact/less stress on he joints.

 

COMPOSITION:

 

EVA: The moulded EVA foam insert is particularly flexible. It helps improve shock absorption and lightness.
