Lafuma Trail Shoes

Lafuma Trail Shoes

"The Lafuma Skyrace trail running shoe is ideal for those runs where your regular shoe is either too slippy, not tough enough or unstable in the rugged conditions.  I generally like my trail shoes to be as close to a running shoe in comfort, biomechanics and performance as possible.  The Skyrace gets pretty close and I found the triple density Phylon midsole surprisingly comfortable on long runs.  The Vibram outsole is super hard wearing and ideally suitaed to muddy tracks, tree roots and also hardpack.  They hold their own on rocky terrain and with the low profile sole ankle stability is very good.  I found the lace system excellent.  Often when a shoe becomes wet they get sloppy so being able to quickly tighten them with the twin lace pull system is great.  The reinforced toe box is also good, especially in river beds and tree rooted tracks where stubbed toes can be very painful"
