La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Wide – Trail Running & UL Hike Shoe

Description

One shoe to rule them all in the mountains. The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II is the most versatile piece of outdoor footwear. Originally launched as a robust and supportive trail runner, it quickly became a favourite of ultra light hikers and outdoor adventurers of all types. Climbers took to them as a cool and breathable approach shoe to the crags, hikers took to them because in the Aussie summer you don’t always want a Gore-Tex boot, trail runners took to them for a super comfy training or ultra long distance shoe, and travellers took to them because they only needed one shoe to do most things. 

 

This second edition of the Ultra Raptor brings it up to date with aesthetics and technology. With a more streamlined lacing eyelet system and rear support chassis. The rest is mainly cosmetic updates. This wide fit is not only a welcome relief for people with wide feet, but it also just means that there’s more room in the toe box for long demanding adventures, especially in the heat.
