La Sportiva Jackal Mens Trail Running Shoes Space Blue/Saffron

This is the La Sportiva Jackal, the most cushioned longer distance trail running shoe in the La Sportiva range. It is absolutely critical with a longer distance trail or ultramarathon shoe like the La Sportiva Jackal that the midsole has superior rebound or energy return. If the midsole of your trail running shoes gets compressed easily, you will no longer benefit from the softer landing it provides your feet.

This means that despite the Jackal feeling comfortable straight out of the box, it is not a "soggy" feeling running shoe designed for comfy jogs or recovery runs.

The Jackal is a specially designed trail shoe for runners pushing the limits of their mileage over trail terrain that would still suit those enjoying regular trail miles, right up to ultramarathon competitors.

READ OUR REVIEW

La Sportiva say: "A mountain running shoe ideal for off-road running over ultra distances and workouts on medium distances thanks to the exceptional cushioning guaranteed by the innovative Infinitoo™ high energy return technology. Every detail, from the uppers to the sole, is designed to enhance the comfort of the foot over long distances: wide, comfortable fit designed for use in ultra-marathons, comfort fit, enveloping and soft elastic tongue for maximum freedom of movement with internal bellows to protect against stones and mud."

"The lacing sees the loops incorporated directly into the side panels of the uppers: a solution that facilitates the adaptation of volumes during long distance runs in which the foot tends to swell. The lateral Net-Mesh promotes ventilation and climate comfort. The heart of Jackal, however, lies in the innovative EVA sole/midsole package with internal cushioning pads in high Energy return polyurethane Infinitoo™ Technology. The front element increases the cushioning, the rear insert contributes to the stabilization of the run. The midsole also incorporates a high-density EVA Rock-Shield for a more stable run with rock-guard effect. The Frixion Red tread with differentiated Impact Brake System lugs and longitudinal FLEX grooves enhances the flex of the sole along the fold lines."

"The lightweight, shock-resistant, thermo-shaped toecap contributes to the overall lightness and protection of the shoe while the dual compound FriXion Red sole guarantees maximum grip and durability. A concentration of technology inspired by those who run in search of their own limits and in search of themselves."
