Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Improved La Sportiva Bushido II Running Shoe for Men: Enhancing Performance by Darrell Sharp

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fantastic shoes. Be sure to try them first!

Easily ride just over 20 miles around Yosemite in them. New, unpacked, only worn once, no damage. You did great. Super light, very handy, quite flexible and breathable. A minor annoyance is that when walking on dry mud/sand some of it can get through the mesh. So be sure to wear the right socks. Now the size of these socks is too big. I usually wear 10.5 in sneakers (Salomon, Merrell, Ecco). Tried 10.5 - couldn't even get my foot in, 11 - normal length but still too narrow in the midfoot. Finally size 11.5 and they are perfect. A bit long but with a heel lock they work great on descents. In general I am very happy with them. Much more comfortable than my old Salomons. Let's see how they wear.

Pros
  • AWARD-WINNING AND UPDATED - Engineered for unmatched performance on rough terrain, the Bushido II received an Editors' Choice Award from Trail Runner Magazine; Updated tongue and heel for better comfort and fit
Cons
  • Available in white only
