Just As Good As The Original

This is my third pair of Ultra Raptors, with the first two being the original version. It seems like the fit and function of the shoe hasn't changed at all, which is great. Whatever upgrades they made haven't messed with the recipe for success. These remain my choice for hiking and backpacking in non-winter conditions.

Great Hiking Shoes

These fit my feet great. The stability and traction are unbelievable. They’re perfect for my low volume D width feet. I work in these too. Great for long days in the shop.

Finally!

I've been wanting to try these for a long time. I love the La Sportiva brand, and I just think these looked tough. And they are! They are also super comfortable. I feared they'd be a tad heavy for my taste, and really, their weight proves that is true on paper, but I didn't notice it on the trail at all. I have run several miles on the trail and hiked several more, and I love them. One of my big hesitations to buying these was that I am kinda trying to work my way to more minimalist and therefore natural footwear; though these don't fit that bill, the trails I run are so rough and jagged that there wouldn't be any way I could go that route any way. I'm very stoked about these, and no matter how minimal I end up on my road runs and in everyday life, I will always have a pair of these for trail running, hiking, and just for when I want to step into some grade-A cushion and comfort. Oh, and I'm a shoe guy. I love shoes of all types. I'd be lying if I said I don't love how these bad boys look and how the red and black go so well together. Just freaking buy them. Do note the US sizes are small. I usually wear a US size 11 and Euro size 45, so I have to go up to an 11.5 in La Sportiva shoes because they're 45 Euro aligns with a US 11.5. Peace. Love. Be the light.
