Excellent mixed-use runner

By bmw October 7, 2005

This seems to be the light-duty SUV of the Sportiva lineup: Ideal for dirt roads and capable on the road yet unafraid of more technical trails. Blocky, "leveled" treads and not-too-hard rubber sticks well and absorb shock on tamer terrain—including asphalt—without sacrificing too much traction on sketchier paths. Lightweight mesh uppers keep them breathing easy at speed. I am a narrow size 12, and these seem very true to size; however, they may not be suited to a wider foot. Aesthetically, they are more orange and silver than the handsome rust and white apparent in the photo, but still exude the trademark Euro Sportiva vibe. If you are looking for a shoe to handle daily mileage on the road and still hold their own in the wild on the weekends, this is a great shoe.
