The La Sportiva Prodigio is the perfect blend of cushioning with all the technical trail features that you come to expect from the brand that was born in the mountains. 

There is a place for max cushioned trail shoes but they usually come at the expense of feeling nimble in technical trails.  The Prodigio is trying to find the perfect balance between the two.  With a new supercritical foam midsole, the shoe is thicker than most La Sportiva shoes but not overly so.  Soft, but not too soft.  Stable but nimble.  Amazing grip but not limited to any one type of trail conditions.  Glove like but not too narrow for those long days.  A perfect blend for so many people running, walking or hiking a wide variety of terrain.
