MORE CUSHIONING, SAME TECHNICAL FOUNDATION

La Sportiva Prodigio Max is built on the same technical foundation as Prodigio , but with a thicker midsole setup that provides significantly more shock absorption. This means you can keep up the pace at the end of a long run, even when your muscles are tired. Prodigio Max is not designed to slow feet, but to protect them, so you can perform to the last.

STACK HEIGHT AND PROTECTION OVER LONG DISTANCE

The increased stack height in Prodigio Max provides an extra buffer between foot and ground, without losing the feel for the terrain beneath you. The construction is tailored for runners moving in hilly terrain for many hours, needing shoes that work for them, not against them. The heel counter is firm and well-anchored, and the midsole distributes load evenly across the entire foot.

VIBRAM GRIP AND TERRAIN CONTROL

The outsole is Vibram, delivering the grip La Sportiva is known for on trails. With deep lugs and aggressive pattern, Prodigio Max grips soft forest, muddy ground, and wet rocks. The combination of grip and cushioning makes it suitable for varied running routes that change terrain along the way. You don't have to choose between comfort and control.

FOR RUNNERS WHO PRIORITIZE LONG-TERM COMFORT

Prodigio Max is the obvious choice if you run ultramarathons, long mountain trips, or distances where cushioning makes a real difference in how you feel the next day. The shoe is also suitable for runners who are harder on soles or prefer a more protective profile without compromising technical performance. The upper is designed to fit precisely and naturally around the foot, and the fit follows the precision standard that La Sportiva is known for. If you've found the right size in Prodigio, you'll likely start in the same place with Prodigio Max.
