The i-Run team says
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Leather Gore-Tex shoe for men accompanies you through a wide variety of trails. Designed for adventure, it delights hiking enthusiasts who wish to experience an unprecedented feeling of dynamism.
Responsive, the midsole is crafted with injected EVA Memlex foam. This material is capable of absorbing impacts with the ground before propelling you at full speed thanks to its energy return. A midfoot insert reduces the risk of injury.
The Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane offers reliable waterproofing combined with adequate breathability. A microfiber mudguard protects you when you tackle loose paths. The attached tongue and Comfort Collar welcome you into a cocoon of well-being while protecting you from debris.
The stitched eyelets on the upper and the TPU reinforcements wrap around your foot. The nubuck leather upper is resistant to abrasion. The imposing toe cap prevents any mishaps when you face rocky surfaces.
The outsole is made of FriXion Blue rubber, which provides impeccable grip on a multitude of terrains. The Impact Brake System enhances traction and grip. This process is associated with the Trail Bite Heel construction, which secures your descents.

Impact Brake System
This innovative system is applied to the sole so that it absorbs negative ground impact, boosts traction on ascents, and improves grip on descents. The unique positioning of the studs allows as many of them as possible to be in contact with the ground, ensuring optimal impact absorption.

EVA injectée
It provides better cushioning and more elasticity during your stride than a molded EVA sole. It maintains its shape over time.
