Solid

By Greg Goodson August 7, 2008

The La Sportiva Fireblade is a solid shoe. The shoe gets great traction, has a good fit (maybe a little more narrow than I am used to, but definitely comfy). In comparison to other shoes, you may feel the ground more. After running in Brooks Cascadias for a while, this shoe feels much lighter and faster, but maybe you won't get that "running on a cloud" feeling". The toe box along with the rest of the shoe protects your feet very well from kicking rocks, etc.

I wasn't terribly happy with a La Sportiva shoe that I bought about 18 months ago, but this shoe is definitely an improvement. Great for fast trail races, or ultra-marathons.
