The La Sportiva Helios III is the perfect ‘door to trail’ shoe designed for training or running on hard off-road terrain. It is part of the La Sportiva Mountain Running series. The shoe is soft and extremely comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and for running on hard and rocky terrain thanks to its Cushion Platform insert that provides great shock absorption. The slip-on construction allows the foot to enter easily and provides an ergonomic interior grip. In addition, it is a super lightweight and breathable seamless construction thanks to the thermo-adhesive materials: combination of monofilament fabrics, rip-stop fabrics, mesh sandwich and TPU reinforcements.
The injected midsole with Morpho Dynamic technology works in synergy with the FriXion XT dual density sole, to provide optimal shock absorption. The sole with the highly durable FriXion Blue compound guarantees a perfect grip on slippery ground. It is suitable for use on hard and rocky terrain. Maintains optimum performance even on wet ground thanks to the VA-shaped lugs used in crucial places on the sole that keep sliding at bay in corners.

Technologies:
– OrthoLite Mountain Running (4 mm insole)
The models in the Mountain Runnig collection adopt the exclusive La Sportiva By Ortholite insole, made in two different thicknesses. Both models can be found in the men’s and women’s version with materials of different densities. It offers greater transpiration and high comfort thanks to the plantar ventilation, longer duration thanks to a technology that avoids excessive compression of the material, favours the elimination of sweat keeping the foot dry and has an anti-bacterial and washable treatment for greater hygiene of the foot.
– EVA Injected
High degree of cushioning 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.
– FriXion Blue
The compounds of La Sportiva FriXion sole are born with the aim of creating a contact zone with different parameters of watertightness and durability depending on the type of use and soil in which La Sportiva shoes are used. The Frixion Blue High durability sole offers a soft, lightweight and highly durable compound with good grip. Ideal for wide track and trail racing.
– Impact Brake System
Innovative impact-absorption system that also improves traction and improves grip when braking. Designed and developed by La Sportiva.
– Morpho Dynamic
The Morpho Dynamic technology, designed exclusively by La Sportiva, allows the shoe to constantly adapt to any terrain thanks to the unique construction of the sole/sole block.
