With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

The La Sportiva Akasha is a neutral, well cushioned shoe designed for mixed terrain running. It offers both comfort and grip for long miles on trail, fell and mountain. It features a forgiving, higher volume fit, along with good cushioning and superb grip on both wet and dry surfaces.
A great choice for mountain ultra's and adventure racing, the uppers are very protective and also highly breathable. The slipper sock construction holds the foot gently, without being restrictive, and offers precision with a higher volume fit. The fit of the Akasha is also broader than you'd expect from La Sportiva, which means it'll suit a wider range of foot shapes.
It has a low profile 6mm drop, keeping you stable and planted when negotiating the rough stuff. The Akasha has a little more cushioning than similar trail shoes, which not only protects the feet from repeated pounding on hard trails, but also prevents rocks and gravel from being felt underfoot.
