Innovative system applied to the sole that absorbs impact, aids traction, and holds during braking.

Designed and developed by La Sportiva’s Research and Development centre, it offers real advantages during running by reducing the negative impact with the ground. The particular arrangement of the lugs ensures that some of them contact the ground first, softening the tread’s impact.

La Sportiva FriXion® compounds are created to produce outsoles with different grip and durability parameters based on the type of use and terrain on which La Sportiva footwear is used.

The FriXion range consists of 5 types of compounds used on mountain running and climbing footwear.

Footwear designed with GORE-TEX Extended Comfort product technology is ideal in enclosed environments as well as outdoors with moderate to higher temperatures or during high-impact aerobic activities.

They are waterproof over time with optimal breathability and provide lasting protection from the elements. Water does not penetrate inside, while sweat easily escapes.

Thanks to their insulation-free construction, they are the perfect solution to achieve excellent climate comfort by eliminating excess heat.
