Bushido translates to "warrior way". If your inner warrior's way is over rough trails and ridgelines, the newly updated Bushido III from La Sportiva will take you to whatever place you dare. With new features such as increased breathability, a restyled outsole, and recycled materials throughout, La Sportiva has upped the ante on one of the staples of mountain running. Fortunately, the Bushido III has maintained the snazzy look of previous iterations, so you know you'll look good during your next suffer fest. Experience stability, comfort, and support with this mountain runner, perfect for navigating rock-strewn single-track, long scrambles, and technical trail races. The Bushido III is the obvious choice for ambitious runners who expect durability, exacting performance, and ample protection to take them to daring new objectives.

SkyRun Fit Tip - Pick your typical European size. We advise sizing up one-half US size if you are unsure of your Euro shoe size.

  • La Sportiva's Red Frixion outsole provides the finest mix of grip and durability.
  • Dual-density EVA Rock-Guard provides max underfoot protection.
  • TPU toe cap because we all kick rocks.
  • The updated outsole includes a more aggressive wrap-around lug pattern for increased stability.
  • Use of recycled materials from the laces to the insole for a more eco-friendly product.

Question from Garrett O
 
How does sizing compare to the mutants? I'm a 46.5 in the latter.

I went through a pair of the two’s last year and decided to pick up the three’s while I was building my shoe quiver for the season. The fit is really good after I broke them in and it only took around 30 miles. I don’t think that I’ll be getting another pair of Bushidos in the future though. The traction compared to my Mutants and Akashas is lacking and they also don’t seem to run as well as them. The only redeeming quality is that they are stable on off-camber surfaces and have great traction on snow. They just don’t have the qualities that I need in a trail shoe as of now.

Answer from Jeremy L
 
Hi Ben, This updated version features a new outsole and rubber compound design, updated aesthetics, and increased breathability. It is now offered with a Wide Fit option. The upper is more durable, and the sole has a more aggressive outsole than the II. And it may be hard to believe, but the III might just be better looking than the previous version.
