La Sportiva Kaptiva

Kaptiva is a trail running shoe for skyraces and mountain runs of medium to long distance. Liberates his desire for freedom thanks to the SLIP-ON construction of knit fabric that minimizes the volume of all the individual elements of the footwear, optimizing the overall volume and layers of material to provide an enveloping, super clean structure designed for performance. The fit is snug and comfortable, with no destabilizing empty spaces. The single-layer elastic collar sits directly against the ankle like a sock, preventing overlapping layers and dirt penetration. It also makes it easier to put on the shoe. The sole / midsole package seeks the perfect balance between fluidity, stability, flexibility and traction thanks to the longitudinal cut of the shoe profile with super grippy and very durable FirXion White rubber compound with differentiated Impact Brakes System shoe nubs. Kaptiva: free your run, unleash your run.

Technologies and manufacturing processes

ALL GROUNDS
Versatile sole for use on any ground condition: Stone, scree, grass, moss, mud. Optimal when running in very wet conditions on bare ground
EVA - COMPRESSION
EVA - COMPRESSION:Standard compressed EVA midsoles provide durability and responsiveness on soft surfaces where the necessary cushioning is less.The La Sportiva Mountain Running® footwear line uses three different midsoles, depending on style and performance expectations
Impact Break System
Innovative system on the sole to absorb the impact, also helps in the climb and assists in braking.Designed and developed in the research and development center of La Sportiva, it offers real benefits during the run: the negative effect of the impact with the ground is minimized. Due to the special arrangement of the pimples, some of them come into contact with the ground beforehand, so the impact of the shoe profile is softer.
La Sportiva FriXion
The La Sportiva FriXion® rubber compounds are designed to provide footwear professionals with different levels of grip and durability depending on the type of use and the surface.The La Sportiva FriXion series consists of 5 rubber compounds, which are used in the field of mountain running and climbing.
