La Sportiva Prodigio Pro Shoe
If the original Prodigio represented La Sportiva's entry into the world of higher-cushion, lightweight distance trail shoes, then the Prodigio Pro is their modern trail racer. Designed to tackle any distance with speed and responsiveness, the Prodigio Pro inherits the same underfoot stack height and heel-toe drop as the original Prodigio but utilizes lighter, higher-performance materials. A TPU core is embedded in the supercritical nitrogen-infused EVA midsole to offer increased responsiveness and energy return. With more spring in your step from this new midsole, Sportiva recognized the need for greater security and traction on the trails, which led to several upgrades. First, the midsole foam has been raised around the sides of the foot, forming a cage for additional stability in uneven terrain. Second, the outsole has been redesigned with Sportiva's proprietary Frixion White rubber for maximum grip in any condition. Third, the upper features a new power wire mesh, saving weight and providing a secure lockdown through a sock-like midfoot fit. Finally, a knit ankle collar prevents debris from entering the shoe and provides a comfortable fit around the ankle. Whether you want to run 100 miles or PR in a trail half-marathon, the Prodigio Pro is fast and comfortable in a great-looking lightweight package.
SkyRun Fit Tip - La Sportiva running shoes run small, but stay consistent throughout their running line. We recommend sizing up one full Euro size from your measured size.
- More responsive midsole for speed and efficiency.
- The upper wraps the mid-foot, securing it inside a raised midsole cage.
- Sticky Frixion White rubber features redesigned lugs for maximum grip in both wet and dry conditions.
- Tempo Ultra last offers a comfortable, distance-ready fit.
- New outsole design wraps the metatarsal area for increased stability.

I measured all the lugs with calipers, averaging around 4.0mm. The lugs in the rear do measure 4.5mm, but the lugs in the front are 3.5mm or slightly shorter.
