Men's Ultra Raptor II Leather GTX Shoes

<p data-start="173" data-end="671">The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Leather GTX is a high-performance hiking boot for anyone looking for reliable support and comfort on longer day or multi-day tours.</p> <p data-start="173" data-end="671">Its robust nubuck leather hugs the foot comfortably, offers excellent breathability and provides effective protection against abrasion and rock contact. Thanks to the waterproof Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane, your feet stay comfortable and dry even in wet and rainy conditions - with excellent moisture management.</p> <p data-start="673" data-end="1096">The outsole is made from an abrasion-resistant FriXion&reg; Blue rubber compound, which was specially developed for hikes on changing surfaces. The integrated Impact Brake System improves downhill traction and gives you additional safety when braking. The Trail Bite Heel, a special heel shape that grips the ground when descending, provides even more control on crossings.</p> <p data-start="1098" data-end="1523">Inside, the Ortholite&reg; hybrid insole provides excellent cushioning and a comfortable foot climate - even on long stages. The EVA midsole effectively absorbs shocks, while a TPU stabilizer in the midfoot area guides the natural rolling motion and prevents unintentional buckling. The cushioning is medium to high overall, making it ideal for demanding hikes with a rucksack.</p> <p data-start="1525" data-end="1905">A stabilizing heel insert provides additional support on transverse passages or uneven terrain. The styles are also available in a wide fit version - ideal for wider feet or longer routes where additional comfort is required.</p>
