La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II GTX Men

It looks like a sneaker, but it will impress you with its off-road capabilities: The Ultra Raptor II GTX Men is a genuine trail running shoe, particularly distinguished by its snug fit and grip. La Sportiva equips the shoe with a textile upper and a GORE-TEX membrane. This construction allows for a relatively low weight and absolute weather resistance. The special lacing system evenly distributes tension across the entire instep, providing you with pressure-free comfort. To protect your foot and the material from damage in rocky terrain, La Sportiva has incorporated a protective cap in the toe and heel areas of the Ultra Raptor II GTX. Notably, the unique heel design stabilizes and supports you, especially when traversing. The FriXion-White sole is made from a rubber blend that ensures long durability for its intended use. Functional support is provided by the Impact Brake System, which enhances braking force during descents, guarantees maximum traction during ascents, and reduces impact stress upon landing with specially arranged lugs. Additionally, the EVA midsole and the 5 mm thick Ortholite insole provide pleasant cushioning. In short: The Ultra Raptor II GTX is perfect for speed-oriented mountain runs or lightly equipped day hikes with elevation gain.
