From Backcountry Outlet:
"Every stitch of the La Sportiva Pikes Peak Women's Trail Running Shoes is made to give you cushioning and support on long-distance runs. These shoes were originally designed for the grueling 7,815ft-vertical trail marathon up Pikes Peak, and they easily take on the longest trail runs around. When you hit the nasty hillside traverse at mile 16, the 2.5mm composite shank offers supreme torsional rigidity to keep you on your feet. A narrow heel cup eliminates lift and keeps your foot in place where it takes advantage of this excellent support. Triple-density TrailShock EVA midsoles give the Pikes Peak shoes incredible cushioning, so your feet feel as good at mile 25 as they did at mile one."

"This is a very durable show, with lots of cushioning and stability. But I've found it to be overkill for woodland trails. I think it would be better suited for rocky terrain. And it's definitely sized for a narrow foot, as it forces my toes tightly together. It's also a heavier shoe..."
