La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 GTX

Our View – La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 GTX:

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 GTX has been overhauled this season, bringing this lightweight waterproof walking shoe right up to date.

The iconic Ultra Raptor 3 GTX hiking shoes are as versatile as they are technical. Whether tackling a long-distance trek or hitting local trails, these shoes are an adaptable bit of kit to take you there. The durable ripstop upper is reinforced with a rubber toe cap and rand to protect against rocks and roots. And a breathable GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort lining adds waterproofness. The midsole combines a soft material with a more structured layer under the heel for increased support. And the collar is designed with an integrated gaiter to keep out stones, gravel and other debris. A FriXion® White compound outsole with Impact Brake System™ technology provides outstanding grip for uphill traction and downhill control. Flex grooves along the sole boost freedom of movement for scrambling, while a TPU heel counter adds stability with every step. The Ultra Raptor 3 GTX shoes are tough all-rounders made to help you explore.
