La Sportiva Helios III - Mens
Helios III is a "door to trail" shoe designed for training and running on tough off-road terrain.
Overview
Helios III is a "door to trail" shoe designed for training and running on tough off-road terrain. This athleisure-oriented shoe, with a lightweight and breathable upper, is made from a unique thermo-welded combination of rip-stop material, mono-bava protective mesh, mesh sandwich and is also TPU-reinforced. The fit is extremely comfortable and close-fitting, following the example of the Helios SR.
The presence of the toe cap on the heel avoids crushing when putting on the shoe, while the soft and enveloping protective collar with 3D foam padding ensures perfect comfort. The outsole is made from a highly durable FriXion Blu compound, making it ideal for use on hard and rocky ground.
The molded termo-form toe makes the shoe lighter and effectively protects against frontal impacts. The injected EVA midsole with MorphoDynamic technology guarantees the proven high level of cushioning that the Helios model has offered since its launch. The Cushoning Platform insert provides more cushioning and comfort. Helios III: time to fly, again.
