La Sportiva Womens Bushido II Trail Runnng Shoes

I usually wear a size 6. I ordered 6.5 based on other reviews. They are a perfect fit! I wanted a light, solid, yet comfortable shoe and these were the perfect choice! I hike trails that are not always even. They are often muddy. These have great traction, they really perform on rugged terrain. At the same time, they feel like your favorite tennis shoe! Easy to clean and you really can wear them anywhere.

These shoes are amazing! I ordered them to wear on the mountain trails in Colorado. I needed something with traction to prevent slipping and falling. They did the job!My daughter and I both have a pair. We ordered half size bigger. They fit perfect and are very comfortable!

Nice grip and color. Good for modest trail walking and city walking.

These are really comfy and required zero breaking in. Cushy on the inside but well structured and supportive on the outside. I went running in them right out of the box - no blisters. They stop me from over-pronating when I run, which no other shoe has fully succeeded in doing. I took them hiking on Mont Blanc… grass, rock, gravel, dirt, wet, dry, steep, flat… these shoes maintained a solid grip on every terrain and dried in an hour after stepping in a stream up to my ankle. Cannot recommend these highly enough!

I wear a true narrow shoe. Not normal shoes that "run narrow", it has to be a narrow built from a separate narrow last. It took me over 3 years to find a hiking boot that I could wear (Asolo) and I had basically given up on finding a trail runner. None of the running shoe brands carry trail runners in narrow. I recently read a few articles about La Sportiva being narrow (and again, I was skeptical because I can't wear shoes that "run narrow" it has to be built narrow). But I gave them a try and these were amazing straight out of the box.The sizing is a little tricky which is why I am writing this review in the hopes it helps someone else. I wear a 9-9.5N in most shoes and a 10AA/N in running shoes (thank you Brooks and Asics). I read the reviews to size up so I tried these in the 9.75, the 10 and the 10.5. I could have made the 10 work but happily the 10.5 gave me the extra length I needed without adding too much extra width. Oh and ignore the EU sizing. I'm normally a 39 or 40 and these claim to be a 42.5 so something isn't lining up.The fit is excellent -- low volume forefoot means my foot isn't swimming but there's a wide enough toe box to spread out. The mid-foot is snug when laced up tight and my otherwise normal heel doesn't slip with normal lacing techniques (I didn't need to tie it with the heel lock technique). They even look nice!If you have a narrow foot, these are your shoes. If you have a "runs narrow" foot, you are probably good to go. If your foot skews wide, I would pick one of the other gazillion shoe options made for you instead.

Love Love Love these shoes for hiking! I did go up 1/2 size and am glad I did. Super comfy and no breaking in period

4 stars because the extreme discrepancy in sizing.I ended up returning my size 10 womens (I typically wear 9.5 and go to 10 for things like running shoes and hiking footwear) and instead got a MENs size 10.5! The womens sizes didn’t go up high enough/have higher sizes available. But if there’s a question whether you need to size up… do. I ended up getting the womens equivalent of a size 11.5 which is kind of insane to me but now that I have them in a size that fits I love them. They run really slender, so if you have really skinny feet (I’d say my feet are very much average slenderness) maybe you don’t need to size up more than a half size. But the womens 10s for me weren’t long enough either, so either way, size up!

I have very narrow feet and always have trouble finding good trail runners. I also like the drop on these, and the relatively chill flare of the sole under the heel. Comfortable all day with the stock insoles, too. Basically, they're perfect and I hope La Sportiva never stops selling them. Oh, and also, FINALLY, women's running shoes featuring no f***ing pink, and all of my favorite colors: Black, darker black, shiny black, and black.

Expensive shoe but never before have I had a show that fit perfectly the moment I out them on. No pain breaking them in. My runs were enjoyable.
