La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GORE-TEX® - Hiking Shoes

The mid-height version of the Ultra Raptor II mountain running icon, ideal for fast hikes and excursions. The shoe is waterproof and breathable thanks to the Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort membrane.

Optimal protection on any terrain: the Ultra Raptor II GORE-TEX® trekking shoe by La Sportiva

The soft Comfort Collar protects the ankle from penetration by stones or mud and integrates the Easy-Fit spoiler for maximum fit. The upper is made of abrasion-resistant, breathable mesh fabric, perfect for use in all conditions. Rear stabilizing heel allows perfect control over the traverses.

Perfect volume adjustment and support of the foot thanks to the special lacing elements: The eyelet laces are stitched on the inside of the upper and reinforced on the outside with a high-frequency TPU skeleton, so that the traction of the lace can be evenly distributed over all areas of the upper. The result is a mid-cut hiking shoe that can be worn for many hours at a time and is suitable for off-road use on any terrain.

HIGH VOLUME
Comfortable shoe, ideal for training and long distance running.

ALL GROUNDS
Versatile sole for use on any type of ground: stone, scree, grass, moss, mud. Optimal for running in very wet conditions on bare ground.

EVA - INJECTED
The injected sole has high damping properties and elasticity of the material. These properties support the forward footprint during running and therefore these models are particularly suitable for off-road trails. Injected EVA midsoles reduce midsole compression, which can appear as the shoe ages, allowing the material to maintain the same performance characteristics.

GORE-TEX®
Optimal fit, comfortable feel. Guaranteed waterproof. Get the most out of every single mile. Whether you go jogging every now and then, train for a marathon or just like to wear sports shoes - La Sportiva makes sure that the weather can't harm you. GORE-TEX Invisible Fit footwear gives you the fit, feel and style you want, while delivering on the GORE-TEX GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® promise - especially in sneakers with knit uppers.

Impact Brake System
Designed and developed in La Sportiva's R&D centre, it offers real benefits during running: the negative effect caused by impact with the ground is minimised. Thanks to the special arrangement of the pimples, some come into contact with the ground beforehand, thus softening the impact of the shoe profile.

La Sportiva FriXion® WHITE
Compound with super grip, leaves no streaks and is very durable. Ideal for high-performance mountain running shoes and indoor climbing shoes.
