éThe La Sportiva Bushido Trail Running Shoe has been constructed with STB control which applies a thermoplastic urethane frame throughout the underfoot to provide greater stability and responsiveness whilst reducing the overall weight of the shoe. A slip on construction fits the foot like a sock to deliver a more comfortable fit whilst a heavily lugged outsole design with rounded edges wraps over the midsole to allow the wearer to gain effective traction on a broad range of terrains. A 6mm heel-to-drop strikes an ideal balance between accommodating a more natural, physically beneficial running style and providing the foot with the cushioning it needs, particularly on aggressive, unforgiving terrain. Compressed EVA rock guards in the forefeet protect against knocks and abrasions whilst a thermoplastic urethane shank provides substantial midfoot support and torsional stability.é
