La SportivaAkasha - Trail Running shoes - Men's

Exceptional cushioning for all your long training sessions in the mountains or rugged terrains! Designed by La Sportiva for all long-distance running enthusiasts, the new Akasha Trail Shoes are the most cushioned in the brand's trail-running range. The kilometers of rocks between you and the summit no longer have any reason to scare you! Your comfort is guaranteed by the cushioning offered by the combination of an injected EVA orthotic insert Cushion Platform™, the ample internal volumes, and the soft, breathable, and enveloping upper whose Slip-on construction avoids pressure points during your runs. Comfort is enhanced by the presence of an Ortholite insole that combines polyurethane foam and open-cell rubber to allow air to circulate and keep the foot cool and dry. Because trails are often hostile, you have valuable anterior active reinforcements Dynamic ProTechTion™ that provide protection and support by dynamically conforming to the movement of your feet without constraints. The ultra-grippy bi-mesh FriXion XT outsole features the exclusive Trail Rocker™ system at the front of the sole that promotes the natural foot strike (outer heel – inner toe) during the run. Finally, the 6 mm drop (difference in thickness between the heel and the forefoot) ensures excellent dynamism and a more natural stride. With the Akasha: cushioning, protection, grip, and comfort are highlighted for all ultra-runners!
