I give these 5 out of 5 stars
I bought these at the end of the summer from REI, they were having a sale, to get rid of stuff that did not sell well. I am not sure why this did not sell well, b/c these are the best pair of trail running shoes I have ever used. I have been buying La Sportiva shoes for almost 10 years now, but their trail running line is just getting better and better each season.
The uppers are mess and extremely breathable, which is excellent in the mid-Atlantic summer heat. They also make this in a Gore-tex version for those that are looking for more coverage year round. The sole is super comfy and has large lungs for traction control and also a technology special to La Sportiva that helps control your feet on the way down hill. Plus La Sportiva is a climbing shoe company at heart so all their shoes have a sticky rubber on them.
Basically, they feel like a extra comfy street runner but with the bad-ass-ness of a trail runner.
I highly recommend these for anyone looking for a new trail runner.
