👟 La Sportiva Wildcat 2.0 GTX Trail Running Shoe for Women Review

I walked the Camino de Santiago for 8 days in different terrains with these shoes. I've read that waterproof shoes can cause feet to overheat, but I haven't experienced this at all. As I have a fairly high arch I swapped out the insole for one that offers a bit more arch support and is very comfortable.

This is a very well made shoe, but the side of the shoe is too high for me, it touches my ankle and is uncomfortable.

My friends don't understand how "tennis shoes" can be waterproof. :DI will definitely buy La Sportiva shoes again in the future!

I'm a big fan of La Sportiva trail running shoes, this is my 5th pair overall. This was my first pair of Gortex. I was less concerned with water ingress and more concerned with all the dirt that accumulates on long runs and can eventually rub. The Gortex construction did an incredible job of keeping the mud/sand/dust out. However, I noticed almost immediately that the shoes didn't allow for this breathing, and my feet got too hot and the sweat didn't disperse, my feet and socks rubbed like a…
