100% NOT.

Firstly, I will say that the grip is fantastic.
Secondly, the colour scheme is very nice.
Thirdly, well...actually, that is it.

I am an trail/off road/mountain runner from Cork, Ireland.

The blue outer lining of the shoe began to peel away soon after getting the runners. This lead to the grey under layers becoming visible. Which eventually lead to the toe box and the sole layer partially detatching. It finally culminated with me running along the beautiful Sheep's Head trails in Southern Cork and planting my foot into a boggy section only to pull it out minus the entire sole. The runners have been on their way out for a while. At the price and with all the hype and review you would expect them to last.

My conclusions are thus, the manufacture quality is ZERO CRAP USELESS.
Bump up the price.
Drastically cut the quality to save costs and to increase profit.
Do not address customer enquiries.
Ignore feedback.
And maybe;
IRELAND IS JUST TOO TOUGH FOR LASPORTIVA.

I had - before the boggy episode - wrote to LaSportiva, sent in photographs, described my unhappiness and frustration. That was October 2020. This is December 2020 and no reply.

Back to Solomon.
