La Sportiva’s Helios III is the third-generation ultralight trail shoe for women who want speed, protection, and long-run comfort. Designed for varied terrain, this shoe blends cushioning, breathability, and durability for everyday training and race-day efforts.

Helios III Trail Running Shoes for Women

Built for quick, confident movement on mixed terrain, this trail runner pairs added tongue and ankle cushioning with a low-profile thermo-formed toe cap for lightweight protection. The result is a responsive ride that stays comfortable on technical descents and longer miles.

Materials & Durability

The upper combines rip-stop nylon with mono-burr reinforcement to support airflow while helping resist abrasion. That mix keeps the shoe breathable on warm runs and tough enough for brush, rocks, and regular use.

Outsole & Traction Innovations

FRIXION® AT 2.0 rubber is tuned for stability and multi-surface grip. A low-profile lug pattern balances bite with smooth roll-through, making it a strong choice for fast technical miles and changing trail conditions.

Care & Maintenance
