Details
The Wildcat is part of La Sportiva’s performance category of mountain running shoes between protection shoes like the Raptor and race shoes like the Crosslite and Fireblade. On the trail, this means the Wildcat offers a plusher ride than its race-oriented siblings, but still in an extremely lightweight, nimble package. This particular performance blend is a function of a midsole that is one millimeter thicker at the heel and is made of a considerably softer composite than the midsoles of Sportie’s popular race shoes. The single density midsole is also very light, and is paired with an upper that is also light and very breathable.
The Wildcat also provides excellent stability thanks to a TPU heel cup, plus shelter from trail debris thanks to the integrated tongue guard. The fit of the Wildcat is noticeably more spacious than La Sportiva's racing shoes, which makes it a very attractive option for trail runners who like the light, nimble character of La Sportiva shoes, but want or need a little more cushion and a wider fit.
