The Italian house La Sportiva brings us a new evolution of the trail shoe La Sportiva Helios, exactly the Helios 2.0 model. This silhouette still has the same features as the previous one, but improved. A shoe that stands out for its lightness and flexibility, which gives it an extra contribution to achieve races at a high pace. It is intended for training, and therefore designed mainly for short distances on difficult terrain. One of the aspects to highlight in its design with minimalist aesthetics that is detailed by very striking colors that we are sure that you will like both boys and girls, since this version is available for both genders.
The upper stands out for its breathability due to its highly elastic mesh, which is accompanied by a microfiber reinforcement and in turn by a very soft EVA rubber. In the area of the toe is very reinforced, to face the downhill slopes in a very safe way and also favoring the excellent support that generally provides the upper of these shoes. In the rear area, we find a very simple structure, which is after all what they are looking for this shoe to gain in flexibility and lightness. The laces are fastened with a quick lacing system. Inside, the classic and effective Ortholite insole, which does not deform and also keeps the foot cool and dry.
The midsole is composed of injected EVA with cushioned platform to promote cushioning of this shoe with very little weight. The outsole has some inner grooves so that perhaps lose a little grip, coupled with a tacking of little thickness, this makes the shoe is recommended for more compact terrain where trail training is practiced.
What we like most about this design from La Sportiva is its simplicity and bold aesthetics. It is a simple shoe for occasional running and even for use with sportswear on a daily basis.
