La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II GTX Women

It looks like a sneaker, but it will impress you with its off-road capability: The Ultra Raptor II GTX Women 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 complete weather resistance of the shoe. The special lacing system evenly distributes the tension across the entire instep, ensuring 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. Also notable is the unique heel design, which stabilizes and supports you, especially when traversing. The FriXion®-White sole is made from a rubber compound that ensures long durability for its intended use. Functional support is provided by the Impact Brake System™ (IBS), which aids 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 perfectly suited for speed-oriented mountain runs or lightweight day hikes with elevation gain.
