La Sportiva Lynx Trail Running Shoe - Men's
La Sportiva keeps the peace where foot hits mountain with their climbing shoes and mountaineering boots.  From the affordable Mojo to the awesome Mythos, their climbing shoes will keep you grippy and comfortable.  For more extreme conditions, the Makalu mountaineering boot takes on the ugliest snow and ice.

Superior rugged terrain shoe   02-17-09
Karl Meltzer (24): rating
I ran in two different LS shoes during the Appalachian Trail Assault (2176 miles of rugged terrain). The Lynx provided great support once broken in. It took a few miles to break them in because of the stiff "rock protector" underneath the forefoot, but once broken in they performed perfectly. The flexibility came around, and with a slightly lower profile I did not once roll and ankle. Something I'm prone to with stiff shoes. When the mud, wet rocks, and roots were slick, the shoe gripped like a vice. From sideways to forward, slipping was a rare option. When winter comes, and running on snow is an option, these will work great!

Did not fit my foot   05-15-09
Travis Liles (9): rating
I wanted to like these shoes, but could not. They cage on the outside of the shoe that anchors the laces to the midsole rubbed my foot just behind my big toe. The traction was awesome and they felt great except when I was going up a hill and the forefoot area would flex a lot and that is when it would rub. I have the Imogene and the Crosslite and neither of them causes this issue. They get tons of great praise by other reviewers and I am sure it is a good shoe; it just does not fit my foot.

The best Trail Shoes!   08-11-08
Steve Tibbitts (262): rating
This is the best pair of trail shoes I've been into in a long time! I've been through plenty of brands but they always had problems. These are really perfect! Great traction but they don't wear out too fast! No issues with lacing systems breaking down prematurely. I don't feel any hotspots. Just a great pair of all 'rounders!

La Sportiva Lynx replaces the once great Montrail Vitesse   06-05-09
Jeff Bell (0): rating
Great shoe. I am an adventure racer and for years I have been using the Montrail Vitesse. When Montrail discontinued the model I was really upset. It took me four months to find a new shoe. The Lynx has done that. Great traction...good support. If there is one minor fault it is the fact that the toe box is not as wide as I was used to.

Good not great.   06-04-09
Chris Taylor (2): rating
I originally purchased this shoe as a runner. It has become my short, few rocks with little talus, simple day hike shoe. I currently run in the Fireblades and Wildcats—both made by La Sportiva. I use the FC 1.1 as my more all day hiker and scramble shoe. The good about the shoe is the heel cup and toe box are great. The traction is stable and grippy. The red spikes on the sole have had a tendency to wear more quickly than the rest of the shoe. I would like to see a little more cushion in this shoe as it seems to be a tweener of the Fireblade and Wildcat—both are better shoes. I was also a bit irritated at the amount of dirt entering into the material above the toes—more than most shoes. It seems like a shoe La Sportiva could do without in its lineup of mountain runners.

Buy Me   12-22-08
Chris Taylor (2): rating
After I wore out my old shoes I wanted to try something new. I bought three pair, which all fit well and what I was looking for in a good trail shoe. The Lynx won hands down. This is a great shoe, with solid traction and relatively light for its build. No complaints.

A top tier trail shoe   10-13-08
mc67crew1436139 (1): rating
After wearing these almost daily for two weeks,I have no negatives to report.The support,comfort and traction are second to none.Along with the Vasque Kota and Salomon XA Pro 3D these rate A+.Beware one thing-they run SMALL.Add at least a half size to be safe.Happy Trails.

Nice New Sportiva   10-05-08
Contact1482778 (1): rating
I'm still trying to find the replacement for my Vittess's, after a couple runs of 15 plus miles and 5k of climbing they my do the job. They run very light but give tons of support. Ran on slick desert mud today, worked very well, not quite as good as the Crosslites, but better cushion. Enjoy.

Super comfy   08-26-08
andym801 (2): rating
I just ran 5 miles on trail with these shoes, straight out of the box, and I have no complaints. Great support in all the right places, laces up great, and looks real good. I prefer the yellows.
