First impressions
Known for their great build quality and fantastic grip, La Sportiva shoes are specifically designed for the harshest off-road conditions. This training shoe option is aimed at athletes wanting all day comfort with excellent traction. It delivers on both counts.
Midsole
Cushioning comes courtesy of the dual density midsole which also feels very stable and secure around the foot, inspiring confidence with every stride.
Upper
The upper is able to accommodate many foot types thanks to its versatile fit 3D knit mesh construction with a seam-free design and the multi-directional outsole studs which excel at providing great traction wherever you venture.
Sole
Known for their grip in the mountains, the Karacal delivers with a super luggy grip offering traction on any surface. From experience, we know they're really long lasting as well.
