You might think that because it has the word “ultra” in it, SCOTT just slapped some extra cushion on a regular running shoe and called it good. Lucky for us, SCOTT doesn’t roll like that and they really focused on the needs of ultra runners when making the Supertrac Ultra RC. As a result, this shoe is dialed in more ways than one so that when you’re out there all day (and night), y..

When crafting the ideal Skyrunning shoe, the folks at SCOTT made a tick list of mandatory attributes that would allow it to excel in the most challenging of alpine conditions.

Plenty of cushion while maintainin..

When you think skyrunning shoes, the Supertrac RC 2 is what should come to mind.

The innovative Radial Traction outsole positions the ground-biting lugs in a ..

Bushido is the name of a moral code of conduct for Japanese Samurais. We’re not sure what that has to do with La Sportiva’s Bushido II shoe, unless, of course, the Samurais were trail runners that appreciated responsive, durable and protective shoes. If that’s the case, they’re not alone. They’ve been immensely popular with the skyrunning crowd for those exact reasons. Somehow thou..
