Trail-tested over 200 miles
The La Sportiva Prodigio Pros are built for trail runners chasing their fastest times over any distance, from short efforts to ultra marathons. Charlie from our team recently put them to the test in the 200-mile Wild Horse 200 race across South Wales.

Performance
The Wild Horse 200 route traverses across South Wales, encountering fields, gravel trails, rock gardens, bogs, roads and everything in between. The Prodigio Pros handled all of this in their stride with their FriXion White outsole. I ended up with zero blisters. I put this down to the shoes (and socks). With higher stack shoes, they can sometimes bring a feeling of tipping or being on stilts, but these feel really well-planted and inspire confidence.

Overall verdict
The Prodigio Pros have quickly become my favourite. I could wear them running 200 miles through South Wales, blasting some fast single track, or up in the mountains. Regardless of where I am running, this is the shoe I would choose because I know I can rely on it to be comfy and perform in a vast range of conditions.
