La Sportiva Men's Ultra Raptor II Trail Running Shoes

Smart Specs & Features

User Profile: Ideal for Runners and Light Hikers

Suitable for runners and light hikers who venture off-road, this shoe offers a perfect balance of protection, stability, and traction. Each pair weighs just 355 g / 12.5 oz per shoe, making it lightweight and suitable for long-distance hikers.

Highly Breathable: Made with High-Weave AirMesh fabrics, these shoes keep your feet cool on hot days while offering abrasion resistance against sharp trail objects. The Mudguard Microfiber fabric on the lower edge of the shoe effectively keeps out mud when puddle hopping.

Sizing & Fit: These shoes run small. For regular or medium feet, we recommend buying a size up. For wide feet, choose the wide width. If you have small feet, buy a half size up. Hikers who hike long distances, use thick socks, or are new to La Sportiva may consider an additional half size up.

Sure Grip Sole: Equipped with the Frixion XF 2.0 Outsole and Impact Brake System, these shoes provide exceptional traction and stability on any terrain. The compression-molded EVA midsole offers excellent shock absorption and ample cushioning. The Endurance Rockguard adds extra protection against sharp rocks.

Foot & Ankle Support: The reinforced heel cup provides the stability trail runners and ultralight backpackers need for high-mileage days on rugged and rocky trails. The innovative lacing system distributes tension evenly over the foot, offering a secure and comfortable fit. A rubber toe cap protects toes from unexpected trail obstacles.
