If mountains were cake, these would be the ideal tool to devour them... - La Sportiva Mutant Running Shoes - Men's

If you have ever imagined what it would be like to be a mountain lion, these shoes will get you there. They have an aggressive outsole that hold their own on both the up hills as well as the big descents while still being amazingly stable. After putting just over 200 miles on them, I have come to love the security of the asymmetrical tongue and the lace lock the that keeps my toes from mashing into the end when I am trying to not launch off some high alpine single track.I have also spent 3 days in the gym with them doing some circuit training and was astonished at how smooth they were to run on a indoor track as well as when doing free weights. So to revise my previous statement, these shoes are the closest you will get to being a mountain lion with wings.
