Why We Like The La Sportiva Bushido II Trail Running Shoe

Designed for serious runners taking on technical terrain, the La Sportiva Bushido II Trail Running shoe has a well-regarded reputation in our office for a reason. This newest iteration aligns with the mentality of "improve it, but don't mess with what makes it loved." You can expect the same low-volume performance fit, same drop, same low weight, same snug fit, and same outsole rubber and lug pattern.


The most noticeable update to the Bushido is the midsole construction. La Sportiva added their proprietary LaSpEVA in an effort to create a more responsive and springier ride to keep you comfortable through longer distances. Additionally, the upper has been updated with a more breathable mesh fabric that still retains the same durability of its predecessor so you can confidently tackle rugged terrain through the mountains.

Run a FULL size small, not a half size

I haven't done a full hike in them yet but I ordered a half size up and I'm not sure they'll work for me. I will wear them in a bit since my toe isn't hitting the front but they're very narrow so we'll see how it goes. Will update my review if they do well on the trail.

Great shoes! 900km in 30 days!

I purchased these shoes to hike the Camino de Santiago. I hiked all the way across Spain from France to the west coast, almost 900km across a variety of terrain, and these shoes were awesome. No blisters, held their structural integrity well, no toe problems. They are pretty well worn with almost no tread left but they exceeded my expectations.

Be careful when choosing the size

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Size Bought:
41.5

The shoes are very stylish and curvy... But.. Although I ordered one size larger, At least it was much smaller ( I wear 40.5, and buy 41.5) The sides are quite tight, which makes it impossible to move. Pay attention to the correct size selection. I only wore it once and it was so impossible to move I had to buy new shoes at the nearest store :D

Waaay too narrow in the toebox. In all fairness, I was warned. But I thought I might be able to stretch em out - not a chance. I think they were compressing my tarsal bones so much it felt like an impending injury. The construction looks La Sportiva great though. I have a son with skinny feet - hope he can squeeze in.

Great grippy shoe but runs WAY too small. I wear an 11 1/2 mens US size. On the flawed size chart it says this corresponds to 45 EU size so that’s what I ordered. Way too small so I exchanged it for a 46. Still too small so exchanged for a 47 which fits well. The chart says this is a size 13 US. Nonsense. After all of the sizing complaints in these reviews, why don’t you correct your sizing chart?!

So great if they fit your foot

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:
46

I've owned several pairs of Busido II's and love them. They are the perfect combination of lightweight and breathable while offering good support and underfoot rock protection. Soles are grippy on rock as well as loose stuff. BUT I have a low-volume, long foot and doubt a more full-footed person will be as pleased. My foot measures a 11.75-12 B.

Great shoe for trail running

Ordered these in 8.5 as that’s my typical size. 8.5 was very small, 9’s are still small but after a few weeks of running in them they have stretched nicely. I have to say the back country returns were great and I couldn’t be happier with my customer service experience.

My husband is a ultra trail runner and these are the only shoes he wears. We were delighted to find them at such a good price on this site.

Great trail running shoe. Runs small

Familiarity:
I've used it several times
Size Bought:
10.0

These are a solid pair of shoes. I like the level of support and traction they give. The only downside is the foot volume is pretty low causing my American foot to fit a little snug despite ordering a half size bigger. Overall a great shoe.
