Grassroots Gear Review: La Sportiva Fireblade- Womens

La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Runner for Women
Great light weight trail running shoe in my opinion. It drains quickly & efficiently after being soaked in creek crossings.
I have been running in this shoe ever since it was shipped to me! I do wish it had more padding in the forefoot as sometimes I feel the rocks below me. Overall it is not cushioned run, but I am used to this and don’t necessarily want cushion. I would rather have light and fast. Also, I would like more arch support in the show as I have had to put “superfeet” in it and still don’t seem to have enough. I have a high arch though. Anyway, like the shoe a lot and would make some small changes for the future!

The best part about racing for me is crossing the finish line and having my children, Morgan (6) and Conner (3) run to me and celebrate my finish whether I did well or not!
