La Sportiva Lycan GTX
The perfect choice for off-road running enthusiasts!
A trail running shoe that is perfect for training sessions during the winter months. Nice and comfortable thanks to the quick and easy entry system, Lycan is ideal for all off-road enthusiasts in all conditions, especially on humid, snowy or icy terrain, thanks to the extremely long lasting, nailable Mud-Ground outsole with Frixion Blue compound. The injected wedge absorbs negative impact thanks to the particularly shock absorbing, external structure. The water repellent uppers with abrasion resistant reinforcements protect against roots and stones. Lycan is the ideal choice for safe and comfortable running.

Technologies
Gore-Tex®
Gore-Tex® fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex® products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate. Gore-Tex® in a 3-layer construction offers a combination of enhanced durability and high breathability, while the 2-layer laminate provides lightweight weather protection.
Normal Volume
Shoes designed for “normal” feet with a neutral instep, neither narrow nor wide. These shoes are ideal both for narrow and wide feet.
Mid long distance
Versatile shoes created for a number of off-road runs such as skyraces, mountain running and city park running. High level of stability, shock absorption and comfort.
Impact Brake System
The innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill. Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact. The unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.

EVA-Injected
Highe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist “push off” during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the “squash” effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.
