La Sportiva Bushido II GTX

GORE-TEX invisible fit membrane version of the classic Bushido II mountain running model. This extra-light, sticky and aggressive shoe was developed for the skyrace world as well as for use in the winter months and enables optimum surefootedness in any off-road terrain. Thanks to the STB Control construction, the TPU structure placed on the side of the upper extends downwards and encases the midsole in the centre area. This stabilises the shoe. This solution makes it possible to achieve a more snug fit and better overall stability thanks to the synergetic work of the upper and midsole. In addition, the weight has been reduced because heavy stabiliser inserts are no longer required in the middle section of the shoe. The dual FriXion Red compound has differentiated footprints: The round shape of the external lugs, which extend laterally to the midsole, creates a progressive angle of contact with the terrain and maintains stability even when the foot is turned outwards. This means you can run in complete safety with this shoe even on highly technical terrain with roots, stones and branches. Optimum support and wrapping in the centre of the foot, freedom of movement and comfort on the toe. The result is a shoe in pure La Sportiva style that offers new solutions to meet the needs of more demanding runners. The rules of the game are rewritten, with a construction that is an absolute novelty among trail running shoes.
