A Max-Cushion Trail Shoe Engineered to Help Ultra Athletes Go the Distance
When you’re preparing for your next long distance hike or ultra trail race, you want to feel confident that your shoe can handle all the miles and tough terrain you throw at it. Fortunately, the La Sportiva Prodigio Max is up for the challenge.
The max-cushion midsole design is built to absorb shock and impact over long mileage. The XFlow endurance midsole pairs two types of foams – a supercritical eTPU and nitrogen-infused EVA – to deliver long-lasting comfort
Despite the high stack height, the Prodigio Max also ensures that you feel grounded, stable, and supported with every step. The wide base, balanced foam, and rocker technology all work together to propel you forward and deliver smooth, stable landings.
The upper adds yet another layer of protection, support, and durability. It’s constructed from a Comfort Wire TPEE polyester with TPU yarn, which delivers a secure fit around the foot with maximum durability and protection for when you’re out on rugged terrain. The stability wrapping system above the instep also provides an unmatched locked-in feel, so you can focus on the trail ahead of you with fewer distractions.
Last but certainly not least, the Prodigio Max excels when it comes to grip and traction due to its Bi-Compound FriXion Red outsole with 4mm Laspo lugs. The outsole design and dual-rubber construction enhance your grip no matter where your workouts take you, making this the perfect choice for any runners or walkers who prefer to take their adventures off-road.
