La Sportiva Crosslite: Hi, this is Jonathan with La Sportiva, and I'm going to tell you today a little bit about the Crosslite. Crosslite is one of our greatest shoes that we've ever done in the mountain running category. It won this year the 2008 Runner's World Best Buy Award. It's a really clever shoe. Has a really aggressive outsole. If you look at the outsole here, has the really well-spaced lugs that give you great traction. And then they're also really good at shedding mud, as the shoe is used they gets rid of all the mud in there. And it has a integral external scree guard, which protects the laces on the upper here. The laces come all the way down here, and the scree guard comes on the outside, so you don't get any rocks, or pebbles, or trail debris in the shoe. Basically has a AirMesh upper, with a TPU reinforcement on the side here. And then you can look here and it has UreTech reinforcements, which is a really lightweight, durable application that you can put on the mesh which supports the shoe, and gives you a lot of protection while keeping the weight down. It also has a dual density midsole. You can see the grey is the softer density here, which comes up under the foot here. And then the darker grey and black is the other density which gives you a lot of support in the shoe. That;s it for the Crosslite, and this is Jonathan with La Sportiva.
