La Sportiva Akyra Mountain Running Shoes Electric Blue

The La Sportiva Akyra shoe is a mountain running shoe developed for endurance in Ultra Trails and Ultra Marathons. Akyra is particularly comfortable and flexible, designed for prolonged trail use. It adopts an enveloping and comfortable upper 3-layered shape: comfort, thanks to the seamless construction; flexibility of the structure thanks to the innovative use of MicroLite Skeleton that dynamically follows the foot's movement on the run; guaranteed protection with the Flex-Guard microfibre structure that keeps the shoe light and provides a barrier against abrasion caused by rubbing. High stability thanks to the TrailCage System technology placed between the two upper and outer layers and also integrated within the lacing system. The sole has been developed by La Sportiva's I+D department and features the new FriXion XT sticky band with Impact Brake System; an exclusive design with Trail Rocker technology that favours natural support during the race. - Versatile sole, ideal for all types of terrain including stone, clay, grass, moss and mud.

Technology:
- EVA Injected
Manufactured with a high degree of cushioning and elasticity. These features allow for a true 'Push off' during the propulsion phase whilst running, These models have EVA injections in the midsole which is ideal for use on off-road trails. On the other hand, the midsole injection reduces the EVA 'squash' effect, maintaining the same original properties over time and making the shoes long-lasting.

- OrthoLite Mountain Running
Allows greater breathability and increased comfort thanks to ventilation in the sole. This allows sweat to be wicked away to keep your feet dry and the shoes last longer thanks to a new technology which prevents excessive compression of the material and features a washable, anti-bacterial treatment for better hygiene.

- FriXion Red
La Sportiva FriXion sole compounds were made with the aim of creating a contact zone with different water tightness and durability parameters depending on the type of use and terrain where La Sportiva shoes are used. The FriXion Red Dual Mix Compound sole offers an optimal combination of adhesion, wear resistance and shock absorption. The dual compound is used in versatile soles.

- Impact Brake System
Innovative impact-absorption system that also improves traction and improves grip when braking. Designed and developed by La Sportiva.
