Description

La Sportiva Crosslite - An aggressive mountain / cross / fell running and orienteering shoe with a excellent grip. A perfect shoe on damp and muddy terrain.

The C-Lite provides amazing traction and cushioning with its well-spaced sticky rubber lugs that deform upon impact to reduce impact force. Awarded the Runner's World Best Buy award for 2008, the C-Lite provides an excellent lightweight snug fit with its integral external scree guard that locks down the upper and the nimble flexible midsole provides excellent cushion and response for those tricky foot dabbing sequences on the trail. Great for medium to long distances and for runners that prefer a more deconstructed shoe with great traction (La Sportiva 2011).
