La Sportiva Prodigio Shoe
In 1928, La Sportiva began by producing quality wooden clogs and boots for the Fiemme and Fassa Valleys farmers. Fast forward more than 95 years, and they continue to innovate by introducing the La Sportiva Prodigio. With an emphasis on high performance, the Prodigio is built for longer distances when comfort and protection matter most. The XFLOW™ Nitrogen-infused Supercritical EVA offers an unparalleled amount of energy return versus weight savings compared to traditional EVA foams. If a 34mm stack height wasn't enough, the added FLOWFILM™ full-length PU coated Nylon Mesh Insert protects your feet from roots and rocks alike. Perfect trail conditions rarely exist, so luckily, the Prodigio's highly breathable mesh upper allows for quick drying on wet runs and keeps feet cool on hot ones. With 4mm lugs and the FRIXION® XT 2.0 outsole providing the perfect grip versus durability, the Prodigio is made for anything from boulder hopping to smooth, buttery single track. While we aren't sure this much technology could be packed into a shoe, the La Sportiva Prodigio is the go-to shoe for anyone looking for maximum energy return and comfort for long days on any terrain.
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.
- The engineered knit upper is highly breathable, quick-drying, and durable.
- Dual Compound FRIXION® XT 2.0 outsole combines a stickier rubber in the center with a more durable rubber on the outside.
- FLOWFILM™ full-length PU plate protects from rocks, roots, and all matter-of-pointy things.
- With the XFLOW™ Nitrogen Infused Foam, comfort and energy return are of the highest level.
- Big-Hand mid-foot stability wrap does an excellent job securing the foot on uneven terrain.

Questions & Reviews
Thanks guys!
The bad or sort of bad is the length of the laces being on the shorter side. The heel collar area at first has been very stiff and biting into my ankles at times. I did work the area with my hands to try and "soften" it up, but that piece of material wedged in between the outer/inner fabric is very stiff. My second run was better with a slightly thicker sock, but this could, unfortunately, be a deal breaker for some if they don't stick with it and let them break in a bit. It's such a great offering from the brand, and my only guess as to why it runs so well in Boulder terrain is due to AK's feedback along the way.(Thank you Anton :) Great new model out of the gate, great price, great brand. Thanks La Sportiva for creating this shoe!
