La Sportiva Jackal

Meet the La Sportiva Jackal, a mountain running shoe made so you can cover ultra-distances in exceptional comfort.

Designed to meet the expectations of long-distance trail runners looking for exceptional cushioning and a wider fit, the Jackal is built to tackle any off-road adventure. Exceptional cushioning is guaranteed by the innovative Infinitoo technology, absorbing the negative impact with the ground and guaranteeing a never seen before energy return. The lacing system sees the loops incorporated directly into the side panels of the uppers - which allows the volume of the shoe to adjust throughout your run as your foot swells. A soft elastic tongue moves with the foot, and internal bellows protect the foot from the ingression of stones and mud.

Both lightweight and highly durable, the mesh based upper keeps you cool and dry while the outsole with a dual density rock guard provides the ultimate underfoot security. A sole of La Sportiva's FriXion Red rubber is the perfect combination of grip, durability and shock absorption, and the lateral Impact Brake System lugs stabilise the foot over any terrain.
