"The La Sportiva Prodigio Pro ($195) is the second shoe released in the brand's newer Prodigio line and is considered by many to be their high-end trail racing shoe. In my review of the La Sportiva Prodigio last August, I praised the shoe for its simplicity and versatility. A middle-of-the-road fit combined with great cushioning and a sticky, durable outsole made it a shoe that could handle a variety of situations,"
"ranging from technical terrain to tame dirt paths, and fit a lot of different people. The original Prodigio was a great all-arounder that really reframed the way that I thought of the brand. With the Prodigio Pro, La Sportiva took a tried-and-true concept and gave it some premium features, including a knit upper, stickier outsole, and nitrogen-infused midsole. The shoe, like the original, has many features that make it accessible to a variety of runners, including a reasonable 6-millimeter drop."
La Sportiva Prodigio Pro is the second model in the Prodigio line positioned as a high-end trail racing shoe. It pairs a middle-of-the-road fit with enhanced cushioning and a sticky, durable outsole. The model adds a knit upper, stickier outsole compound, and a nitrogen-infused midsole for a plusher ride. Stack height is 34 mm heel and 28 mm toe with a 6-millimeter drop, yet the shoe feels more cushioned and geared toward longer miles. Deeper 4 mm lugs boost traction on loose terrain and a slightly wider toebox improves comfort. The shoe runs small; size up at least half a size. A U.S. men's 9.5 weighs 9.4 ounces (267 g).
