Best praise vs top criticism for La Sportiva Bushido III
“Second this. I completed a vast majority of Colorado’s 14ers with La Sportiva Bushidos. Those things eat jagged talus for breakfast while remaining somewhat comfortable”
“I love the La Sportive Bushido II, but the Bushido III feels like a knockoff to be honest. Find the bushido II to try on. Here is an Andrew Skurka special about this trail runner [https://andrewskurka.com/preview-la-sportiva-bushido-ii/](https://andrewskurka.com/preview-la-sportiva-bushido-ii/) If your foot is too high volume for the bushido, the La Sportive Jackal II is amazing. Its also more rigid, dust proof, and cushioned, with a lower stack height, making it ideal for higher mileage on slightly less technical terrain. In the grand scheme of things it is still a generally neutral and rugged terrain competent shoe compared to industry leaders like the speed goat.”
