I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The La Sportiva Bushido II Trail Running Shoe

The La Sportiva Bushido II Trail Running Shoe is a top choice for serious runners who tackle technical terrain. In our office, this shoe has earned a well-regarded reputation, and for good reason. The newest version of the Bushido stays true to its winning formula while making thoughtful improvements. It offers the same performance fit, drop, weight, snugness, and reliable outsole rubber and lug pattern that runners have come to love.

One standout improvement is the midsole construction. La Sportiva has introduced their proprietary LaSpEVA to enhance the shoe's responsiveness, giving you a springier ride that keeps you comfortable even during long distances. The upper has also been updated with a more breathable mesh fabric that maintains the durability of its predecessor, allowing you to confidently conquer rugged mountain terrain.
