La Sportiva Men's Waterproof Hiking Boots - Ultra Raptor II Mid Leather GTX

Competitive Edge

Perfect for Men’s Hiking Needs

Influenced by Fast/Light Running Shoes with Leathe Support This leather hiking shoe has been inspired by the lightweight comfort of running shoes, but it retains the support, durability, and traditional look of leather. Ideal for men who desire both performance and a lasting, classic design.

Foot/Ankle Protection and Support These shoes provide excellent foot and ankle protection for both light and medium loads. They are perfect for those who hike long distances, use thick socks, or are new to La Sportiva. Consider buying a half size larger for added comfort.

Lightweight Construction Each shoe weighs only 450 grams (16 ounces), making them more than 50% lighter than many traditional hiking shoes. This makes them easier to pack and more comfortable to wear.

GORE-TEX Waterproofing Stay dry in any weather with GORE-TEX technology. This fabric keeps your feet protected from water and snow, while still allowing moisture to escape to prevent sweat buildup and heat retention.

Durable Leather Uppers The shoes feature a highly abrasion and water-resistant Nubuck Leather upper with debossed detailing. This durable material keeps your shoes looking good for longer, even in harsh conditions.

Sizing and Fit These shoes run slightly smaller than standard sizes. If you have normal to large feet, size up a whole size. For small feet, size up a half size. They are available in Regular (C) and Wide (D) widths. Hikers with long-distance needs, who use thick socks, or are new to La Sportiva may want to consider sizing up an additional half size.

Excellence in Traction and Stability The Frixion AT 2.0 sole with an Impact Brake System offers excellent traction on steep descents, slick trails, and uneven ground. This ensures you have great stability and control even on challenging terrain.

Ample Cushioning The Injection-molded Memlex midsole provides ample cushioning, making the shoe more comfortable to wear over long hikes. The stable support ensures you can stay on your feet for hours without losing comfort.

Critical Stability for Difficult Terrain The Nylon molded flex TPU transfer shank and reinforced heel cup offer stability throughout the foot and ankle, making these shoes ideal for rugged and rocky trails. The reinforced heel cup provides stability for high mileage days.

Innovative Lacing System The innovative lacing system distributes tension evenly over the foot, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. This ensures that your feet stay snug and secure, even with thick socks.

Foot and Toes Protection The rubber toe cap protects your toes from unexpected trail obstacles, providing an additional layer of protection against stones, thorns, and other hazards.

This shoe is the perfect choice for men who prioritize both comfort and durability in their hiking adventures.
