If the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor were applying for a job as your do-it-all trail running shoe, it wouldn’t need a second interview. Consider it hired on the spot. One glance at its impressive resume would be enough since its credentials include an ultra sticky rubber sole, a full-length protective rock guard, and breathable uppers. On day one, you’ll be impressed by its commitment to comfort by providing generous cushion and integrating a genius lacing system that allows a lot of versatility in shoe tension. It has a proven track record of getting the job done on burly trails, winding singletrack, and alpine scrambles. Not only that, but the Ultra Raptor gleefully accepts working overtime on long-distance runs without slacking. Go ahead and tell all the other rejected applicants that you’ve found your ideal candidate and it starts on Monday. The Ultra Raptor is already in the running for employee of the year.
SkyRun Fit Tip - La Sportiva running shoes run small, but stay consistent in their running line. We recommend sizing up one-half size from your measured size.
- All-terrain shoe eager for all sorts of off-road trails.
- La Sportiva’s super sticky Frixion XF 2.0 is long lasting and incredibly grippy for maximum traction.
- Full-length rock guard protects your feet from obnoxious trail debris, including deer antlers.
- Breathable AirMesh uppers prevent heat stroke from the ankle down.
