This is my second pair of Ultra Raptors II. My others were exactly like these (turquoise). I love the fact that I can go several years in one pair and find them still available when I was ready for a new pair. I use them every weekend if not more - for hiking and as an approach shoe to reach remote climbing areas. The fit is excellent for my foot. I wear a slightly larger size than normal to be able to accommodate a thin sock under a light hiking sock if the hike is long. I never have gotten a blister or even close to one. They handle rough terrain, scree, talus, slabs or whatever condition my feet come upon. They stick well on slippery slopes and out performed any shoe I ever worn in wet conditions.
