The Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX Men's Hiking Boots from La Sportiva is a mid-cut version of the well-known Ultra Raptor running shoe. This means it is incredibly lightweight and able to tackle a variety of trails and terrain.
The abrasion-resistant air-mesh upper combines with a Memlex EVA midsole and Ortholite Mountain Running footbed, providing optimum shock absorption and better control over uneven surfaces. For reliable grip and further shock absorption, the Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX has a FriXion rubber outsole that incorporates La Sportiva's integrated Impact Brake System, giving you stability and control while ascending and descending on tricky terrain.
The Gore-Tex Extended lining provides excellent breathability as well as impeccable waterproofing to keep your feet dry and comfortable. With its mid-top construction, which is designed to keep out debris and mud, a supportive TPU skeleton and an evenly distributed lacing system, the Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX will have you adventuring for days on end in complete comfort.
All in all, the men's Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX from La Sportiva combines the performance of a lightweight hiking boot with the versatility of a trainer, making it perfect for fast hiking, everyday walks, uneven terrain and off-road trails.
