The i-Run team says
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid Leather Gore-Tex Wide shoe for women accompanies you through a wide variety of trails. Designed for adventure, it delights hiking enthusiasts eager to experience a unique sense of dynamic movement.
When weather conditions are not in your favor, the Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane ensures you are in the best possible situation. It offers you reliable waterproofing combined with always adequate breathability.
Its nubuck leather upper is abrasion-resistant to follow you without ever failing at the task. A microfiber mudguard protects you when you tackle loose paths. The attached tongue and Comfort Collar welcome you in a cocoon of well-being while protecting you from debris inherent to rough terrains.
The stitched eyelets on the upper and the TPU reinforcements placed on either side of the midfoot wrap your foot with surgical precision. The large toe cap prevents any potential mishap while you face rocky surfaces.
Responsive, the midsole is crafted with Memlex foam injected with EVA. This material can absorb every impact with the ground before propelling you at full speed thanks to an explosive energy return. An insert at the midfoot prevents potential twisting, thereby reducing the risk of injuries.
An embodiment of versatility, the outsole is entirely composed of FriXion Blue rubber that grants you impeccable grip on a multitude of terrains. The Impact Brake System remarkably enhances the traction and grip provided by this model. This process is combined with the Trail Bite Heel construction, which secures your descents for unwavering pleasure.
