La Sportiva Jackal II Boa Trail Running Shoe

Description

Absolute performance, comfort and stride efficiency. That is what the La Sportiva Jackal II BOA was built for and that is what it delivers. If you’re after a performance orientated trail running shoe that gives the high cushioning comfort and help you expel less energy per stride in Ultra Marathons then this is your shoe. 

 

To talk about the obvious first, the Sportiva Jackal II BOA features two BOA dials that connect to flaps that spread the load over your whole top foot. This makes it extremely soft and comfortable for the top of your food and at the same time, locks your heel into place. Perhaps though, the best thing is that you can individually tweak the fit or volume of the heel lock dial, or the mid/forefoot dial while you’re running. You’ll never put up with incorrect tensioned laces again!

 

To top it off the Jackal II features La Sportiva’s Infinitoo technology in its cushioning which aids forward propulsion and maximises the efficiency of your stride. Overall the Jackal II BOA is considered a high cushioning shoe with 29mm of stack at the heel and 22mm at the forefoot. It’s great for everyday training and it’s the best for ultra-marathons.
