"The La Sportiva Women's Exum Ridge is the go-to running shoe for steep mountain trails. Its synthetic leather and mesh upper provides lightweight, breathable support that also repels water. Inspired by climbing shoes, the Exum Ridge uses a unique lacing system to provide serious traction on hairball terrain. To-the-toe lacing gives adjustability and forefoot security in any condition. La Sportiva even added a reinforced rubber toe cap for top-of-the-line protection and durability. *AVAILABLE FOR NORTH AMERICAN SHIPMENT ONLY."

Men's Exum Ridge
Reviewed by Greg, Apr 20, 2004

"Because I have narrow feet, it has been very difficult for me to find trail shoes that don't feel like loose-fitting concrete blocks. I had used La Sportiva climbing shoes in the past and really liked their good fit and construction. So when I spotted a pair of Exum Ridges on sale, I grabbed 'em."
