Kaptiva is the trail running shoe dedicated to medium and long distance races such as skyraces and mountain running. Unleash your desire for freedom thanks to the innovative knit fabric, SLIP-ON construction which reduces to a minimum the volumes of each individual piece of the shoe, optimizing the overall dimensions and the layers of material for wraparound, super clean structure that is dedicated to the runner’s performance. The fit is snug and comfortable, free of empty, destabilizing volumes. The stretch, mono-layer cuff sticks to the heel like a sock avoiding overlapping layers and preventing external agents from entering the shoe, facilitating at the same time the entry of the foot and the operation of fit. The sole/midsole package aims at providing the perfect balance between fluidity, stability, flexibility and traction thanks to the longitudinal cuts in the tread of the super grippy and extremely durable FriXion White compound with Impact Brake System lugs of different angle inclinations.Kaptiva: unleash your run

EVA - COMPRESSION: Standard compression molded EVA midsoles provide durability and reactivity on soft ground where the need for shock absorption is reduced.
The La Sportiva Mountain Running® footwear adopts 3 different kind of midsoles depending on the style and on the needed performances
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.
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.
