La Sportiva Bushido Trail Running Shoes

Automatic translation Original description available here

A technical model created for the world of skyrunning competitions. Super lightweight, sticky, aggressive.

Designed to guarantee perfect stability on all types of off-road terrain thanks to the ?STB Control? construction, a new concept in the world of Mountain running shoes. The TPU frame at the side of the uppers reaches and embraces the midsole in the medial part of the boot. This creates a snug fitting shoe with greater stability thanks to the upper and midsole working together in synergy. It also makes the product even more lightweight by avoiding having to insert heavy stabilizers into the central part of the shoe. The dual mix sole has graded touchpoints. The rounded shape of the external lugs, which gradually rise laterally to touch the midsole, create a continuous contact with the ground, thus maintaining stability in the case of extreme foot torsion. This allows the user to run in safety, even over technical terrain or in the presence of roots, stones and branches. The maximum support and snug fit of the medial part of the foot does not compromise freedom of movement for the toe. The result is a shoe in true La Sportiva style, satisfying the innovative solutions requested by the most demanding runners; rewriting the rules of the game with a totally new construction, never seen before in the trail running category. Bushido: the new way of the trail runner.

Technology:

All:
- The world of trail running is characterised by a series of very different approaches to off-road running.
- Depending on the type of ground, the length of the track, the climatic conditions and the fitness of the runner, there are many different ways to interpret off-road running. It is therefore important to choose the boot that meets your demands and the shape of your foot.
- La Sportiva has created 3 segments in the field of off-road running based on the distance of the track and thus the type of use intended.

Frixion RS:
- The La Sportiva Frixion® stem arose from the desire to create outsoles with increased parametres of hold and durability. This will decline on the basis of types of use and terrain.
- The frixion range consists of four different types of rubber

- A number of La Sportiva Mountain Running® shoes use EVA injected midsoles which differ from the standard compression molded EVA midsoles for a high degree of cushioning and a better elasticity o fthe fabric.
- These features assist ?push off? during the propulsion phase while running, making these models ideal for use on offroad trails. Furthermore, EVA injected midsoles drastically reduce the?squash? effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to maintain the same characteristics and high performance for its entire duration.
- Some La Sportiva models use standard compression molded EVA midsoles for the durability and reactivity on soft ground where the need for shock absorption is reduced.

Ortholite MRE:
- The Mountain Running models from SS2014 collection adopt the exclusive La Sportiva insoles by Ortholite, with 2 different thickness. Both models are available in men and women version and differs for the materials? densities.
- Breathable for a cooler foot.
- The unique open cell structure creates a moisture management system.
- Long term cushioning: insole will retain over 95% of its thickness over time and won´t flatten out.
- Anti-microbial agents and washable properties for a more igienic shoe.

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 the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.

- La Sportiva?s climbing shoes for women differ from their male counterparts both in looks and technical features, making them more appropriate for the female foot.
- They have a slightly different shape and are less rigid than the Men´s version. They are made with more lightweight materials, resulting in an extremely flexible and mouldable shoe, capable of adapting to different climbing holds even when less pressure is exerted on them.
- This provides an important advantage in terms of comfort and generally makes the Women´s shoes more comfortable than the same model for men.

Normal Volume:
- Snug fit but not constrictive shoe.
