The La Sportiva Bushido is a solid general purpose trail shoe that should appeal to performance-oriented mountain runners. It feels most at home on technical terrain and hills—think canyon crossings with twisty descents and steep rocky climbs, loose off-trail sections, and long ascents that involve a mix of running and power hiking. That’s where its stiffness is a real asset; on mellower paths it feels like overkill. Mind the fit: It runs half a size small.
Features
With performance driven design, the Bushido is perfect for technical terrain and provides added stability over stones, roots and branches on the trail. The “STB Control” construction utilizes a TPU frame that wraps under foot to provide maximum stability, responsiveness, and reduce overall weight.
• Internal slip-on construction fits the foot like a sock without causing excessive pressure.
• Outsole lugs have rounded edges and wrap over the midsole to provide added traction and enhance stability on off camber terrain.
