The new La Sportiva Helios SR stands out for its flexibility, its minimalist aesthetics and for having the design and the characteristic and so striking colors of the Italian brand.
La Sportiva Helios SR is a trail runningshoe that is designed for use on the most technical mountain terrain during our short distance training.
One of the most prestigious brands in the trail running sector is La Sportiva, which stands out for the quality and technicality of its shoes, as is the case with the La Sportiva Helios SR.
The upper of the shoe is composed of a mesh made of EVA that provides optimal breathability in addition to contributing to the lightness of the shoe.
The front of the La Sportiva Helios SR features Flex-zone technology, which facilitates the natural movement of the foot inside the shoe.
The midsole has an injected EVA foam that provides a high degree of cushioning and elasticity. This midsole injection reduces the 'squash' effect of the EVA over time, allowing the shoe to maintain the same original properties over time and achieving high durability.
Also noteworthy is the presence of an Ortholite Mountain Running Ergonomic insole, 4 mm thick, which provides the extra comfort needed on uneven mountain terrain.
The outsole features FriXion XT technology that is designed to provide great grip on the most technical terrain, has a dual design in which the front part is combined to help push uphill and downhill grip, cushioning and durability of the rear part of the sole.
La Sportiva Helios SR has a relatively low drop, although being a shoe designed for short distances will not penalize us too much, it is only 2 mm. With this drop, natural running is enhanced.
In terms of weight, despite having the brand's outstanding technologies, it is not excessively heavy, weighing exactly 230 grams in the men's version (size 42 EU) and 190 grams in the women's version (size 38 EU).
In short, we are facing one of the most outstanding shoes of the brand specially designed for short distances and for the most technical terrain and / or rocks that we can find in our mountain routes.
