The i-Run team says
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid Leather Gore-Tex for men supports you through a great variety of trails. Cut out for adventure, this shoe will delight hiking enthusiasts keen to enjoy a sensation of unprecedented momentum.
The responsive midsole is made from injected EVA Memlex foam. This material is capable of absorbing impact with the ground before propelling you forward at full speed thanks to its energy return. A midfoot insert reduces the risk of injury.
The Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane provides reliable waterproofing combined with good breathability. A microfibre mudguard protects you when tackling loose trails. The gusseted tongue and Comfort Cuff keep you comfortable and protected from debris.
Stitched eyelets on the upper and TPU reinforcements wrap around your foot. The nubuck leather upper is wear-resistant. The impressive stone guard saves you from a potential setback when encountering rocky surfaces.
The outsole is made from FriXion Blue rubber, for impeccable grip on a multitude of terrains. The Impact Brake System improves grip and traction. This process is combined with Trail Bite Heel construction to make your downhill runs safer.
