La Sportiva is a mountain brand first: its range is deepest where the ground gets steep and rough. The Prodigio family now covers the everyday, long and race days with modern foam, and the Prodigio 2 also handles the road miles that lead to the trail. The Cyklon and Mutant own mud and rock. Most La Sportiva shoes run small, so size up.

Every current La Sportiva trail shoe
A versatile trail shoe with a 6mm drop and nitrogen-infused EVA midsole, positioned as the do-it-all daily trainer in La Sportiva's Prodigio line.
Why for door-to-trail: Its 4mm lugs stay out of the way on pavement and dirt roads, then grip well once the trail turns rocky.
Why for daily: The best all-rounder in the range: comfortable enough for long runs, stable on loose ground, and wider in the toe than most La Sportivas.
A waterproof trail shoe with a GORE-TEX membrane and 4mm lugs.
The La Sportiva Prodigio Max is a max-cushioned, ultra-distance trail shoe with a 37/31mm stack, 6mm drop, FriXion Red 4mm lugs and a stable, durable ride built for long days on mixed mountain terrain.
Why for long run: Max cushion on a wide platform that stays composed when the trail gets rowdy, and keeps you comfortable for hours.
A max-cushion waterproof trail shoe with a GORE-TEX membrane and 4mm lugs.
The La Sportiva Cyklon is a BOA-equipped mountain running shoe built for skyraces and technical off-road terrain over short to medium distances.
Why for technical: The deepest lugs in the range and a BOA-locked fit for steep, wet descents, rock and mud.
A lightweight trail ultra racing shoe with a nitrogen-infused dual-foam midsole, aggressive 4mm lugs, and a wide, secure fit.
Why for race: La Sportiva's trail super shoe: a lively nitrogen-infused midsole and sticky rubber for racing hilly, technical courses.
Why for ultra: Light for its cushion, with a roomier toe box that pays off late in a long race.
