I searched for a trail running shoe that allowed quick adjustability. I tried some shoes, but systems with 1 Boa did not give me enough heel lockdown or too tight in the for foot.
The Jackal 2 Boa with 2 Boas gives me the flexibility for both. I can adjust it tight for downhills and quickly looser afterwards.
Overall it is a comfortable shoe with great grip. And it is very easy to slip in with the foot, but sits good even without the boas. Many shoes I tried with a sock-like construction were very hard to slip in.

It is super nice and comfortable. I would prefer to wear shoes different with others and this is exactly that special one for me.

The Mountain Running® models use the exclusive eco-friendly La Sportiva insoles by OrthoLite® Hybrid, made using 20% recycled material from the production process. These insoles are designed for both men’s and women’s feet and the thicknesses and materials differ to suit the weight of the average user.
