La Sportiva Ultra Raptor Trail Running Shoes
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor Trail Running Shoes are created for off-road/trail use over long distances, perfect for ultra marathon competitions and endurance training sessions.
Breathable AirMesh Upper
The AirMesh upper encases each foot in superb breathable comfort. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing the hot, muggy air that resides in the uppers during heavy exertion. The mesh is constructed with microfibre reinforcements and an abrasion-resistant coating that work in harmony to enhance durability while out running on tricky terrain.
In addition, the upper of the Ultra Raptor features an integrated lacing system that uses a webbing stitched to the inner stretch fabric while the high-frequency reinforcements remain on the external mesh fabric. This strategic construction allows for an optimal distribution of foot tension and keeps the foot in check without compromising overall comfort. Lastly, the Ultra Raptor provides you with an easy-in PU leather insert that offers ease of fit and additional stability throughout the heel, providing a locked-in fit to prevent any slipping from occurring within the shoes. The Ultra Raptor brings together the advantages, in terms of performance of a snug fit construction to the superior comfort levels of wider fitting models. The result is a product that can be worn for many consecutive hours and for endurance on any type of off-road terrain.
EVA Injected Midsole
The EVA injected midsole differs from the standard compression moulded EVA midsoles by providing a high degree of cushioning and a better elasticity of the fabric. The EVA assists the toe off phase during the gait cycle, making these shoes ideal for the trail. Additionally, EVA injected midsoles drastically reduce the squash effect of the EVA over time, allowing you to perform at a higher level for longer.
Frixion XF Outsole
The frixion XF is a versatile rubber compound that provides ultimate grip on a variety of surfaces. Also featuring an innovative impact braking system that absorbs negative ground impact, helps traction and improves grip downhill allows you to run without any distraction or worries. Offering real advantages during racing by reducing negative ground impact, the unique position of the lugs allows as many of them as possible to come into contact with the ground, for maximum impact absorption.
