The Bushido II GTX from La Sportiva is a real competitor: really light, grippy, aggressive and offering surefootedness on off-road terrain. The thermoplastic polyurethane skeleton extends under the midsole and ensures stability. The dual compound rubber soles have differentiated surfaces to provide grip on any terrain. The upper is breathable and waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX® membrane, the seams have been reduced to the bare essentials and the sock-like fit means that long lengths in the shoe are no problem.
