Designed for serious runners taking on technical terrain, the La Sportiva Bushido II Trail Running shoe has a well-regarded reputation in our office for a reason. This newest iteration aligns with the mentality of "improve it, but don't mess with what makes it loved." You can expect the same low-volume performance fit, same drop, same low weight, same snug fit, and same outsole rubber and lug pattern. The trail running shoes are widely praised for their comfort, support, and traction. Many reviewers find them to be extremely comfortable and supportive, even for long days on their feet. The shoes are described as having great grip and stability on a variety of terrain, including rocky, wet, and muddy conditions. Several reviewers mention that the shoes run small and recommend sizing up by half a size. Some also note that the mesh upper may not be as durable as other parts of the shoe. Overall, the shoes are considered an excellent all-around trail running and hiking option by the majority of reviewers. I ordered these while pregnant snd unfortunately my feet had grown and they never fit so these have only been worn for a couple of minutes total.
