Bushido III, a remake of the iconic shoe dedicated to the art of skyrunning: grippy and fierce, it is designed to guarantee perfect stability on all types of off-road terrain.
The details that led to this model becoming one of the bestsellers in La Sportiva's collection have been retained and further improved: the FriXion® Red bi-compound sole increases grip thanks to the restyled lugs, and the new construction of the side panels offers even more breathability.
Two fit options are available including the classic wrap-around and precise Bushido shape, as well as another WIDE version: same snug feel but with slightly roomier dimensions.
Tech info Upper:
Breathable air mesh, thermoplastic film reinforcements, medial skeleton in TPU HF applied on ripstop panels

New shoes are great- fit just like the old ones. I did want a different colour so was glad to be recommended to try the men’s. The narrower men’s version fits just as well so job done! Back to the grippiest shoes I’ve ever had!
Awesome customer service, very easy, prompt with exchanging..
I am not a man - but these fit perfectly. Love colour and fit
