Previewed last month, the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor pulls no punches on the trails. Its neutral, stable design is equipped for all terrains. The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor's breathable air mesh and synthetic leather combination upper are equipped with TPU Harness Lacing and a TPU Transkinetic Heel Stabilizer for a snug fit. The midsole is cushioned by an Endurance Platform EVA insert and Memlex, while an EVA Rock Guard protects the foot on shaky surfaces. Key to the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor's durability is its Sticky FriXion XF rubber which provides plenty of grip and traction.
