Athlete Reviews

"Lightweight shoe, yet still plenty of cushioning, making it ideal for the long ultras. Wide toe box, fantastic grip in wet and dry conditions. A great all-round shoe – even for shorter, speedier races."
—Mick Keyte, 1st place, 2019 Razorback 64K

"A super comfy shoe that I will be my go-to shoe for any easy, long trail runs, plus any races of a few hours plus. I’ve got quite a wide foot and these are very roomy in the forefoot."
—Sam Burridge, 1st place, 2018 Ultra Trail Australia 50K

"Super roomy and wide, making them good for long runs. The tongue webbing is great for keeping debris out. Great toe protection to avoid the pain from accidentally kicking rocks at the end of long races when your legs are tired. My new 100 miler shoe."
—Ewan Horsburgh, 2nd place, 2019 Brisbane Trail Ultra Miler




Critical Feedback from Athletes:

"Generally, I size up in La Sportiva shoes because I’ve got quite a wide foot; but with the Jackals I could probably get away with my actual size since they are very roomy in the forefoot.”
—Sam

 

“I feel like I could go a half size down. My usual La Sportiva shoes are usually a full size larger than my 'normal' shoe size.”
—Ewan
