La Sportiva Women's Wildcat Mountain Running Shoes

While I was at the OR show, I also had a really neat meeting with La Sportiva, learning about all the new products they will be releasing within the next 6 months or so. Out now, and of great interest to me as an avid trail runner (or, as La Sportiva would call me, a "Mountain Runner,") is the Women's Wildcat Mountain Running Shoe. The Wildcats look like a great cushioned trail runner. An entire mesh upper will offer great breathability and an integrated tongue will keep the rocks and crud out of your feet as you're cruising up rocky trails. The soles of these shoes look like they're in it for the long haul; aggressive enough to give you the traction you need yet burly enough to last you more than 3 runs before you've worn them down to nothing. I just picked these guys up last week, so I've yet to have the opportunity to really give them a beating, but here's the basic specs for now. Look for an update in a few months when I've had the chance to put some mileage on them. Also, be sure to check out Jason's impressions of the Men's Wildcat.
