La Sportiva AKYRA GORE-TEX W Women's Trail Running Shoes – Performance and protection in winter conditions

Designed for demanding trail runners and long-distance enthusiasts, the AKYRA GORE-TEX W trail shoe from La Sportiva is the ideal model for tackling technical terrain and extreme winter conditions. Featuring a waterproof Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane, it provides optimal protection against moisture while maintaining excellent breathability.

Innovative construction for optimal support

The AKYRA GORE-TEX W shoe is designed with a 3-layer water-repellent mesh upper for a reinforced structure, long-lasting comfort, and remarkable adaptability. Thanks to MicroLite Skeleton™ technology, it follows the natural movements of the foot while ensuring great stability, ideal for Ultra Trails, Ultra Marathons, and extended training sessions. The TrailCage™ system integrated into the lacing provides a precise fit around the foot, enhancing both support and safety, even on the most challenging terrain.

Grip, cushioning and traction: designed for winter running

Under the sole, FriXion XT lugs provide exceptional grip, even on slippery or muddy ground. Impact Brake System technology improves traction on descents and reduces impact during the stride, while Trail Rocker™ promotes a natural foot roll from heel to toe. The injected EVA midsole guarantees balanced cushioning (3/5), combined with sufficient stability (3/5) for long runs. Comfort is enhanced by the Ortholite Mountain Running insole, which provides good arch support and reduces pressure points.
