La Sportiva Akyra II Women is a women’s outdoor shoe combining the comfort of hiking footwear with the lightness and agility of a trail-running model. It is suitable for fast hiking, long day trips, recreational trail running and active movement on forest tracks and mountain trails.

The three-layer mesh upper provides excellent breathability and comfortably adapts to the foot. An external KPU 3D Grid structure reinforces high-wear areas, improves lateral stability and protects the foot on uneven terrain. A non-slip mesh lining helps keep the foot securely positioned inside the shoe.

Comfort over longer distances is provided by an injection-moulded EVA midsole containing bio-based components. The stack height is 33 mm under the heel and 24 mm under the forefoot, creating a 9 mm drop. Substantial cushioning reduces impact and helps limit foot fatigue.

The dual-compound FriXion Red outsole balances grip and resistance to wear. Its 6 mm lugs provide reliable traction on dirt, gravel, rocks and forest trails. The Impact Brake System uses angled and opposing lugs to improve uphill traction, downhill control and impact absorption.

Trail Rocker technology supports a natural transition from landing on the outside of the heel to pushing off through the inside of the forefoot. This construction promotes a smoother stride during fast walking and recreational running.

Akyra II Women does not have a waterproof membrane, allowing it to release heat and moisture more effectively in warm or dry conditions. The upper contains recycled polyester, the laces are made from 100% recycled polyester and the removable 5 mm Ortholite Hybrid Mountain Hiking footbed incorporates partially recycled materials.
