The heel’s ergonomic shape and Rubber Tail Protection offer exceptional foothold and support, while the innovative Knit Collar wraps around for added ankle stability as you pick up the pace. For mud and rocky trails, the tried-and-tested FriXion Red outsole provides grip you can count on. We’ve also added Rubber Toe Protection to protect you from rocks and roots, so nothing slows you down. Reach mountain peaks faster and enjoy scenic descents in comfort with our Prodigio Hike GTX.

• Gore-Tex Extended Comfort - Shoes engineered with GORE-TEX Extended Comfort product technology are designed for indoor and outdoor use in moderate and warmer conditions or during higher activity levels. They are durably waterproof combined with optimized breathability, offering enduring weather protection. Water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside.
• 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.
