The i-Run team says
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid Leather Gore-Tex shoe for women is ideal for a great variety of trails. Cut out for adventure, it will delight hiking enthusiasts looking for unprecedented dynamism.
The responsive midsole is crafted with injected EVA Memlex foam. This material is capable of absorbing impact with the ground before propelling you at full speed thanks to its energy kick back. A mid-foot insert reduces the risk of injury.
The Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane offers reliable waterproofing combined with adequate breathability. A microfibre mudguard protects you when tackling loose paths. The adjoining tongue and Comfort Collar keep you comfortable and protected from debris.
Stitched eyelets on the upper and TPU reinforcements wrap around your foot. The nubuck leather upper is resistant to abrasion. The imposing rockguard saves you from potential setback when faced with rocky surfaces.
The outsole is made from FriXion Blue rubber, which ensures unbeatable grip on a multitude of terrains. The Impact Brake System improves grip and traction. This process is combined with Trail Bite Heel construction to make your downhill runs safer.

Technologies
-
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.
-
Frixion Blue
Durable, flexible, and with a good grip. Ideal for running on asphalt and dirt.
-
Gore-Tex Extended Comfort - Chaussure
The Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane provides waterproof and reliable protection in all circumstances. No matter the adventure, this coating ensures your feet stay dry. It is composed of a single layer to guarantee maximum breathability, increased lightness, and reduced drying time.

Soft collar to protect the ankle with an easy-fit spoiler that facilitates putting on the shoe.
