I found a pair in Italy when I was there a few weeks ago and they’re objectively the best shoes I’ve ever felt, however they don’t work with my feet-I get ankle pain in shoes that don’t have a super stable/supportive arch and heel. I wish I could use them but I can’t. Does anyone have any suggestions that feel like a blend between the Prodigio Pro and the Akasha? I love my Akashas, but my feet run very hot and they melt in them. A more breathable version of the Akashas with the same fit, cushion and support is what I’m trying to find! If anyone wants to buy my Prodigio Pro’s in a 45 EU worn twice for a total of maybe 10mi, let me know!
I actually have a pair of s/lab genesis and love them for running, but any supercritical foam gets wrecked on extended scrambles. Mine have 80mi on them and look like a dog chewed them up. My girlfriend’s prodigio pros are also trashed after 150-200mi of Utah technical running and scrambling. Bummer that the supercritical foams just don’t hold up to abrasion like a normal EVA does
Second the Prodigio Pros. I live in the Sierras and these shoes are amazing. Fit like a glove, agile, just fun to run in. Great traction in the loose and tech but cannot speak about mud because...........well...................what is that? 🤣
Norda 005 is very light weight and comfortable. They are expensive though.
La Sportiva Prodigio Pro is comfortable, handles technical terrain well and on the lighter end.
Same here, I tried the Prodigio Pro and they felt wider than the Kjerag 1. Couldn’t try the Kjerag 2 in my size. Never had any issues with the Matrix upper, but I’m not sure what material La Sportiva uses.
I have raced both MS4 and Prodigio Pro in mountain races. Prodigio Pro is a liability in technical terrains, its bouncier foam, narrower platform, softer collar/heel (all relative to MS4) will cause stability issues when \*running\* in rocky and steep surfaces unless you're a pro. My legs get tired faster in Prodigio Pro than in MS4 despite the former is 30 grams lighter per shoe. The regular Prodigio is a better in that regard but range limited.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
