La Sportiva Kaptiva Men

Our View - La Sportiva Kaptiva Men:

The La Sportiva Kaptiva is a well cushioned, protective trail running shoe that is designed for medium to long-distance adventures and on challenging, technical terrain.

Featuring an innovative knit fabric and slip-on design to minimise bulk, risk of bunching and rubbing as well as ensuring a secure, comfortable fit. Adding to the secure fit and feel the heel features a stretchy, mono-layer cuff that sticks to the heel like a sock avoiding irritation posits as well as helping to reduce debris getting inside.

The midsole is designed to provide a perfect balance between ground connection, stability, flexibility and traction. This is a achieved thanks to the excellent outsole design with longitudinal cuts in the tread of a super grippy and highly durable FriXion White compound with Impact Brake System lugs of different angle that ensure traction on even the steepest incline.
