Prodigio Update after my Sky Race : The race was 18 miles with 7300 feet of elevation gain running through 4 mountain peaks. The terrain was steep, some parts rocky, some annoying steep grassy parts and some ski slopes too. The Prodigio was a good choice. I loved the comfort throughout the whole race. It kept my foot very happy and the grip was working well on most surfaces, I only slipped a couple times on some wet, mossy rocks. I ran throgh some streams where my feet got wet but in 10 minutes I was dry thanks to the mesh knit, quick drying upper. My foot was stable in the shoe and I only had to retie my shoe laces one time, before the big downhill at the end. This race was a good test. The only negative is that now I see even more wear and tear on the shoe, but nothing too significant yet. I think the lugs will wear out early on this shoe, but time will tell. All in all whatever I said in the review is still the same, comfortable, grippy trail runner with some durability problems.

Great review thank you Nandor. Be good if you do another of them after your sky race. I hope you do well and more so enjoy yourself in it.

Thanks for the video! 🙏 I love La Sportiva shoes, I have been using them for almost 10 years. I have had many pairs of Ultra Raptor I and II, Akasha I and II, Akyra, and more recently Jackal I and II, including all the Gore-Tex versions available. They are incredibly durable, well protected, well structured, and stable shoes. Sure the Ultra Raptor and Akyra are heavier but considering the high degree of protection they offer, they are not even that heavy. I love the Akasha and the Jackal too which are lighter and a bit less durable but more responsive. With the Prodigio they seem to have gone a bit too far, at least for my personal preferences. I guess it depends on what one is looking for: for those who want very light and dynamic shoes, they need to trade off protection and durability.

Would you take this shoe over the Tomir 2.0?

So, I have only experience from the Akasha and Akasha II, which I love. Why would I consider the Prodigios over the Akasha? They are more nimble and responsive? But maybe less cushioning? Would you use them for 100K for instance?
