La Sportiva Bushido II Trail Running Shoe - Women's reviews and deals for sale

Great trail running shoe

These shoes are fantastic! The shoe fits great and hasn't given me any trouble, from day one. I have very wide feet which usually limits my shoe selection (RIP Nike and Salomon) but these worked great for my feet! I typically run moderate trails (nothing crazy) 5-10 miles at a time and these shoes have been wonderful. I got them to replace an older pair of Scarpa trail runners but… read more I think I prefer the drop/overall construction of the Bushido. Overall, would recommend.

I love these shoes

I had three pairs of Bushido trail running shoes. La Sportiva products fit my foot like a dream from trail runners to my mountaineering boots. I also wear them at work in the hospital. They have a narrower heal and my heal sits down nicely in the pocket which prevents my feet from pronating and my foot doesn't constantly slide forward into the toe box like in a Nike product.… read more I have only had these a month, but will log my results so far. First of all, thank you La Sportiva for giving women a selection of colors other than magenta or turquoise. I prefer shoes a little more on the subdued side and I am frustrated often with having to choose between pink and turquoise, when the menʻs colors are really what I want. At least I could pick the black on this one. I love the rubberized toe (and it may not be rubber, but I will call it that). So many times in my B I shoes, I would hit my toe on a rock and there was just no protection. Ouch. The B IIʻs have a layer of protection now added. Obviously not like a boot, but it affords more protection when you do hit that occasional rock. The soles are similar to the B I. Still the original La Sportiva shape that I have come to know and appreciate. Still the grippiest trail runners I have EVER had and they are so light. The laces are fine and stay tied. Overall, the shoes are a more rubberized ALL over and they feel a little more squeaky. This means that dirt falls away more easily BUT it also means that these shoes donʻt breathe as well as the B Iʻs and there seemed to be a little longer break in. But I do love them and I probably should buy 5 more pairs before La Sportiva decides to change their foot lasts (please donʻt!). I would go back and choose the B Iʻs for breathability but the B IIʻs are a step up for that toe cover and the increased grid of rubberized material over the whole shoe may make them more durable. Dont change La Sportiva! I am addicted to your shoes and donʻt want to wear anything else.

Awesome!

I am new to trail running and was surprised when I found out street shoes and trail shoes are different. I wore these yesterday and felt the difference. These are narrow as some mentioned and I sized up from my regular street shoe size of 6.5 to 7.5. Love the color too! They felt great right out of the box.

Amazing fit and comfort

Originally got them a half size down which was a mistake on my part. Reordered then in an 8, my usual size and finally reordered them a half size large in an 8.5 and they couldn’t be more comfortable straight out of the box. They’re light and the grip seems incredible. The customer service help was great and I appreciated their help reordering them.

Best trail runners

Everything about this shoe is great for me! True to size and comfortable from the first run.

Do it. Don't second guess them!

BEST & COMFIEST shoes I've ever owned! Fit like a dream, and never even had to break them in. I use them for working out, trail running, traveling, and just in my everyday.

Best for rocky, big mountains

Extremely versatile, does everything the original Bushidos could do, but these are more comfortable in the forefoot. They are indestructible in the mountains; I choose them for big days up high on varied terrain from really rocky to smooth. Since the lugs aren't that big, they also work okay on roads in a pinch, say if you only have one pair of shoes for travel, you won't feel ridiculous… read more running on pavement in these if you have to.

Great hiking shoes

I really like these the color is great, I’m in between sizes so went down instead of up and I am not sure that was a good choice. They have great traction. Only problem is they have dyed all my socks red from the inside...

Do these run narrow, standard, or wide? For the run 1/5 size small? I am normally a 7 or 7.5 wide.
