Frixion® sole 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.

La Sportiva Soles
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.

ROCK GROUNDS
High performance soles indicated for use on hard and rocky ground. They maintain optimum performance levels even on wet ground thanks to the ‘VA’ lugs used at crucial points on the sole which keep slipping in check on bends. With Morpho Dynamic Technology.

MUD GROUNDS
These soles are particularly suited to racing on soft and muddy ground thanks to the width of the shoe and the distance of the lugs that make up the sole.

Impact Brake System
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, formaximum impact absorption.

Midsoles
INJECTED
High 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.

COMPRESSION
Standard compression molded EVA midsoles provide durability and reactivity on soft ground where the need for shock absorption is reduced.

Insole system by Ortholite
The mountain Running Models adopt the exclusive La Sportiva insoles by Ortholite®, with 2 different thickness.
- Breathable for a cooler foot
- The unique open cell structure creates a moisture management system
- Long term cushioning: insole will retain over 95% of its thickness over time and won’t flatten out
- Anti-microbial agents and washable properties for a more igienic shoe
