La Sportiva Prodigio 2

La Sportiva Prodigio 2 review: what runners say

Fit

Wider fit than the original, with more volume throughout the foot. The lacing system and midfoot wraparound structure deliver a secure fit even on technical terrain.

Feel

Medium-soft cushioning with good energy return; more relaxed and protective ride than the original, less responsive at faster paces. The advanced rocker transitions well across a variety of surfaces.

Durability

No major concerns reported: durable mesh with tough overlays, robust Frixion Red rubber, XFlow foam proven over hundreds of miles. One reviewer notes possible foam character loss in the first 15 miles.

Best for

Versatile all-trail shoe for medium to long distances, from mixed road-to-dirt routes to moderately technical trails. Suited for runners who prioritize comfort and versatility over outright speed.

Weak points

U-shaped 4 mm lugs struggle on loose terrain, off-trail, and in wet conditions. The shoe loses the reactive, agile character of the original; some early concern about long-term foam property retention.
