Our View - La Sportiva Lycan II Women:

The La Sportiva Lycan II is a trail running shoe designed for medium to long distance training and racing. It has a high level of cushioning thanks to the injected EVA and the outsole provides excellent grip on a wide range of terrain from mud to rock and everything in between. Using the same lug configuration as the hugely popular Mutant you are sure to have grip when you need it but using a slightly different rubber compound (the FriXion Blue as opposed to the White version the Mutant) means the durability of the sole unit is enhanced.

The breathable mesh uppers are reinforced with microfiber and have an abrasion resistant coating for protection against trail damage. The traditional lacing system in easy and reliable to use and creates a sung, secure hold around the heel and midfoot.

If you are in the market for a highly durable trail shoe with excellent cushioning, comfort and grip then the La Sportiva Lycan II should definitely be on you list.
