La Sportiva Helios III

Helios III is the “door to trail” shoe designed for training and running on hard off-road terrain. It’s an athleisure product with a lightweight, breathable upper made from a unique heat-bonded combination of rip-stop fabric, single-layer mesh, sandwich mesh, and TPU reinforcements. The fit is extremely comfortable and snug, derived from the Helios SR model. The heel counter prevents crushing during wear while the soft, wraparound collar with 3D Foam cushioning ensures perfect fit comfort. The outsole is made from highly durable FriXion Blue compound: perfect for use on hard and rocky terrain. The thermoformed toe cap contributes to the overall lightness of the product while also providing protection from frontal impacts. The injection-molded EVA midsole with MorphoDynamic technology guarantees the high cushioning typical of the Helios model since its market debut, while the Cushioning Platform insert increases its cushioning properties and overall comfort. Helios III: time to fly, again.
