Whether we're fastpacking the Highline Trail of the Uinta's or section hiking the AT, the La Sportiva Akyra II Hiking Shoe ensures we can push through the mud and cover big miles. The 3D Grip upper keeps our feet secure and protected from rocks and low bramble while allowing hot air to escape so we can stay cool on hot summer trails. The Ortholite Hybrid footbed and EVA midsole combine to offer plush comfort and reliable support while scrambling up steep ridgelines, keeping our feet fresh as we kick up dust clouds in our wake. The FriXion XT 2. 0 soles supply plenty of traction on wet, rugged trails, and the Trail Rocker2 system allows for a natural gait as the miles roll by.
