La Sportiva Slingshot Running Shoe - Men's

Item #LSP0027 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Almost perfect

By Ranked #586 - Men's Trail Run Shoes April 19, 2006

Because reviews said these run narrow I ordered the men's version rather than women's. They fit great.
Pros: Flexible, lightweight, low to ground, neutral
Cons: Construction - They seem well-made but pieces were falling off when I started my second run. Zero cushion - Seems like this would be easy to fix by swapping out some of the dense rubber/foam for cushiony foam. Would also make the shoe lighter and more flexible.
Could be improved: Lacing - Replacing regular laces with system similar to Salomon or Yankz.
