La Sportiva shoes with Frixion Blue compound. (Karacal, Lycan II or Helios 3 for example)
I just finished a two week hiking trip in Madeira and am pleased to say my la sportiva helios trailrunners still keep up - I also used them in Albania. Lots of scrambling, going through muddy paths, rocky terrain, I thought they would finally crack or split or... but nothing!
I like La Sportiva Helios as a crossover trail/road shoe. It’s the shoe I travel with.
I am partial to La Sportiva. Prodigio is great like someone else mentioned but I think their Helios is great for this (maybe even better on the road part) too! I feel like the Helios may be lighter but I haven’t checked the numbers - just feel that way. I switched to La Sportiva from Salomon a few years ago.
