The Karacal is a men's trail-running shoe from La Sportiva.The Karacal is a shoe designed for long and medium distance training. Its generous fit, its cushioning as well as its high breathability make for a very comfortable shoe.On the upper, there is mesh which allows for very efficient ventilation. Patches around the shoe are reinforced for better resistance to abrasion. The Karacalalso guarantees very good comfort thanks to its comfortable and loose fit designed for long distances. Its shape is similar to the Jackal with a tongue and collar that perfectly envelops the foot for maximum freedom of movement while maintaining good support and avoiding unwanted stones & debris etc. during your runs. Lacing is done through loops directly inserted into the side panels of the vamp to allow for a customised fit and more suitable for long runs where your feet tend to swell. In terms of grip, the FriXion Blue sole offers high durability and good grip. It is the ideal sole for races on paths. Equipped with Impact Brake System side crampons, it offers flawless grip in all conditions! In addition, an EVA midsole provides even more cushioning and comfort, while a Rock Shield EVA side insert stabilises the foot and protects it from impacts. This mix makes the Karacala durable and comfortable shoe to cover the miles and prepare for your races!
