Pros
  • Comfortable collar with stretchy sock liner (area where the foot goes in)
  • Superior traction
  • Soft and flexible tongue that stays in place
  • Fast and light
  • Stable and secure maneuvering over roots and rocks
  • Strong shoe laces (I've had roots on trails sever shoe laces here in southwestern PA!)
Cons
  • Narrow toe box
  • More color choices would be awesome - I like the blue, but the Hibiscus is not my favorite

4.0/5

Summary

After La Sportiva stopped making the Lycan trail running shoe, I sought a shoe with similar characteristics: a wide toe box, minimal drop (6mm or less), superior traction and comfort. The Kaptiva meets all of those needs except the wide toe box.
