It uses a mesh,waterproof upper that is extremely snug fitting and a 3 layer construction that provides: comfort, thanks to the seamless construction; flexibility and structure thanks to the innovative MicroLite Skeleton™ that follows the natural movement of the foot when running; protection thanks to the Flex-Guard™ inserts that offer a lightweight barrier against abrasion during rocks and roots while running. Exceptional stability is provided thanks to the TrailCage System™ which is placed between the two layers of the uppers to give structure and a snug fit, and is fully integrated with the lacing system. The outsole has been developed by the La Sportiva R&D department and uses the grippy FriXion XT with Impact Brake System and an exclusive design with Trail Rocker technology to facilitate “external heel –internal toe” motion while running.
Shock absorbing, protection and comfort, 3 layers in perfect geometry: origami inspires the overall design of the boot. With Akyra, winter running is an art.

Lining: GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Midsole: MEMlex injected EVA Sole: FriXion XT Upper: AirMesh Ultra-Comfort + external application in TPU thermo adhesive microfibre MicroLite Skeleton™ + water repellent, abrasion resistant single mesh with Flex-Guard™
ALL GROUNDS: Versatile soles, ideal for all types of terrain including stone, scree, grass, moss and mud. Ideal for running either in high humidity or on dry ground. Incorporates the Impact Brake System.
The La Sportiva FriXion® compound is the result of extensive R&D aimed at creating outsoles with parameters of grip and durability that respond to all types of use and terrain.
The Frixion range uses 5 custom formulated compounds from mountain running to climbing shoes.
Shoes engineered with GORE-TEX Extended Comfort product technology are designed for indoor and outdoor use in moderate and warmer conditions or during higher activity levels.
They are durably waterproof combined with optimized breathability, offering enduring weather protection. Water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside.
Thanks to their non-insulated construction, they are the ideal solution for people who value outstanding climate comfort and heat release.
The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
EVA - INJECTED Highe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist “push off” during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the “squash” effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.
The La Sportiva Mountain Running® footwear adopts 3 different kind of midsoles depending on the style and on the needed performances
