The Ultra Raptor II is a trail running shoe for women from La Sportiva designed specifically for long-distance off-road running and intense training.This shoe has an upper made from highly breathable Air-Mesh fabric and an Endurance Platform cushioning platform made from soft EVA with different thicknesses: thicker in the ball of the foot, thinner in the heel. In terms of grip, the FriXion White sole provides an excellent grip/durability ratio with the Impact Brake System, the sole has a high level of grip, reducing impact on descent. What's more, the rear heel stabiliser ensures perfect control when you're on the move.The lacing system is integrated into the upper by sewing eyelets onto the inner elastic fabric, while high-frequency reinforcements on the outer mesh provide excellent durability. This system distributes the tension from the lacing and wraps the foot better for perfect comfort. The laces and Ortholite Hybrid footbed are also made from recycled materials.
