A more relaxed, softer, and broader update to the Prodigio that trades nimbleness for comfort and versatility, earning a B overall from the reviewer.
Best for: Longer, slower distances on light to moderately technical trails; runners wanting a softer, more accommodating all-mountain shoe.

Taylor calls the Prodigio Pro his favorite shoe of all time — a race-day option that is versatile, grippy, bouncy, and confidence-inducing despite being plateless.
Best for: Going faster and farther on trail — race day or simply when you want confidence and performance in one package.
Between two shoes, both reviewers picked the Prodigio Pro over the Norda 005 for versatility, fit, grip, and a more forgiving $225 price. Taylor is using it for Leadville 100.
Best for: A versatile trail race-day shoe for moderate-to-technical terrain, 50k–100-mile distances, or anyone who wants one-shoe-to-rule-them-all for trails.
A standout trail race shoe: plateless, energetic, grippy, and technical-ready, priced well under peers at $195. Taylor scored it 14/15 and considers it a new chapter for La Sportiva.
Best for: A versatile trail race-day shoe that can also handle daily trail miles and ultra distances over technical-to-flowy terrain.
