Get to Know La Sportiva's Trail Running Sole Technology - Frixion® Sole System
La Sportiva is a long-established and highly renowned outdoor brand. Its technologies are thoughtfully designed to suit users' needs. One interesting technology is the sole, which uses a technology called Frixion. But what is Frixion, and how many types are there? This article has the answers.
.
.
Frixion technology is the result of research and development aimed at creating soles that provide reliable grip and durability while meeting the demands of all activities and terrains.
.
The Frixion technology comes in 5 colors
Black - Used for climbing shoes
Green (ECO) - Used for climbing shoes, but made from recycled materials
Blue - Used for trail running shoes
Red - Used for trail running shoes
White - (The brand's website does not list the model name, but this version is called Super Sticky)
.
Let's take a closer look at the Frixion options available in trail shoes, which come in two colors: red and blue. Each color differs in terms of grip and durability.

Frixion Red
Dual Mix Compound
A perfect combination of grip, durability, and shock absorption. Testing shows that Frixion Red scores 6.7 for grip and 6.7 for durability (out of 10), offering a well-balanced mix of both.

Frixion Blue
High Durability
Durable and offers good grip, making it suitable for road and trail running (that's Frixion Blue). With a durability score of 7.1, it stands out from the crowd. If you see the blue symbol on the sole, you can rest assured about its long lifespan. Its grip scores 5.6, which is lower than Frixion Red. But if you think this level of grip is sufficient and you need greater durability, Frixion Blue is the way to go. You can count on its durability.

Frixion Red is available in the Lycan II and Karacal models (only those currently available in Thailand).
