A rocky single track, a steep descent, a ridge on the mountainside: this is where the women's shoes La Sportiva gathered here for the Black Friday come into play.
The selection is almost evenly split between trail and hiking. Start with this choice, then filter by shaft height and size.
During the event, this page gathers the women's shoes from the brand on sale. The mountain models sell out quickly in smaller sizes: spot your favourites early.
La Sportiva is based in Trentino, at the foot of the Dolomites, and has long been making mountain and climbing shoes. Its trail shoes inherit this: grippy soles, solid toe caps and a precise fit.
The Prodigio is the most prominent. It's a shoe for mid to long distances, comfortable on less technical trails where you want to cover ground.
The Bushido III focuses on rocky, rugged terrain. Lower and more direct, it provides precision in scree. The Ultra Raptor II offers more foot protection for long days.
For hiking, the page mixes the three heights of the shoe. A low cut is suitable for fast walking and dry trails. A mid or high cut provides better ankle support under a pack, in scree or in wet weather.
High and spaced lugs shed mud and grip soft ground. Lower lugs and a soft rubber compound work better on dry rock, but wear out faster on asphalt. If your outings start with a few kilometres on the road, choose an intermediate profile. After a muddy outing, rinse the shoe with clear water and let it dry away from a radiator to preserve the adhesives.
To see the full selection, check out the Black Friday women's shoes. If you also run on roads, compare with adidas, which covers road, trail and hiking, or with Saucony and its trail model Peregrine.
After the holidays, the sales La Sportiva women's take over. Hiking end-of-series can be found on the hiking clearance, and all brands on the women's shoe clearance.
On this page during the Black Friday, along with the other trail models on sale. The rest of the year, keep an eye out for the sales La Sportiva women's.
It is designed for technical terrains and gives a firm feel. To start on rolling paths, a more cushioned shoe like the Prodigio is often more comfortable.
The fit is often snug, especially on the technical models. Many female runners take a half size up for long outings: check with the size guide on the product page.
