La Sportiva Bushido II GTX

Bushido II GTX is the GORE-TEX invisible fit - membrane version of the classic mountain running model Bushido. Designed for the skyraces world as well as for use in the winter months, this extra light, adhesive and attack shoe guarantees perfect surefootedness in any offroad terrain. Thanks to the STB Control construction, the TPU structure placed on the side of the upper extends down and wraps the midsole in the middle area. This stabilizes the shoe. This solution allows the synergistic work of the upper and midsole to achieve a tighter fit as well as better overall stability. Weight has also been reduced by eliminating the need for heavy stabilizer inserts in the midsection of the shoe. The dual FriXion compound features differentiated set-up surfaces: the round shape of the external lugs, which extend laterally to the midsole, creates a progressive set-up angle with the terrain and maintains stability even when the foot is turned outward. Thus, with this shoe you can run in complete safety even on highly technical terrain with roots, rocks and branches. Maximum support and envelopment in the mid-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 the more demanding runners. The rules of the game are rewritten with a construction that is an absolute novelty among trail running shoes.
