Aesthetic re-edition of the iconic Ultra Raptor model, the trail running shoe developed for long-distance off-road routes and prolonged training sessions.The upper is in highly breathable air-mesh fabric and is assembled by integrating a shock-absorbing Endurance Platform in soft EVA with differentiated thickness (greater at the toe, lower at the heel) for excellent impact absorption in any situation and reduction of the ramp -angle. The rear stabilizing heel allows perfect control on traverses. The lacing system is integrated with the upper by means of loops sewn on the internal elastic fabric and with high-frequency reinforcements on the external mesh: this system allows you to distribute the tension of the lacing over the entire upper and wrap the foot in the best possible way for a perfect wearing comfort. Ortholite® Hybrid laces and footbed are also made from recycled materials. The result is an ultra running shoe that can be worn for many consecutive hours and is suitable for off-road use on any type of terrain. Raptorize yourself, again.PLUSHighly breathable Air-Mesh fabric upperMesh lining with anti-chafing microfiber insertRear stabilizing heel for perfect control on the traversesEndurance Platform insole for greater cushioning, ramp-angle reduction and rock-guard effectFriXion® White sole with pronounced Trail Bite Heel for better braking on descentsPerfect volume adjustment and foot wrapping thanks to the particular lacing system: the loops are sewn on the inside of the upper and reinforced on the outside with high-frequency reinforcements: this system allows the tension of the lacing to be distributed over the entire upperULTRA LONG DISTANCEIdeal for long distance, ultra trail and ultra marathon competitions or demanding training sessions. An extremely protective and shock absorbing boot.ALL GROUNDSVersatile soles, ideal for all types of terrain including stone, scree, grass, moss and mud. Ideal for running either in high humidity or on dry ground. Incorporates the Impact Brake System.EVA - INJECTEDHighe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist ‘‘push off’’ during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the ‘‘squash’’ effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.OrthoLite® HybridThe Mountain Running® models use the exclusive eco-friendly La Sportiva insoles by OrthoLite® Hybrid, made using 20 % recycled material from the production process. These insoles are designed for both men’s and women’s feet and the thicknesses and materials differ to suit the weight of the average user.Eco-friendly and washable: they contain recycled rubber and are machine-washable.Maximum wearing comfort thanks to the insole ventilation and the highly breathable PU foam cells: the foot is always dry and kept at the perfect temperature.They facilitate the wicking of sweat thus keeping the foot dry.Enhanced durability thanks to the anti-compression technology which keeps material compression down to less than 5 % over time.High Volume:Comfortable shoe, ideal for training and long distance running.Impact Brake SystemThe innovative system is applied to the sole to absorb negative ground impact, help traction and improve grip downhill.Created and developed by the R&D department at La Sportiva, it offers 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.FriXionâ„¢ WhiteThe La Sportiva FriXion® compound is the result of extensive R&D aimed at creating outsoles with parameters of grip and durability that respond to all types of use and terrain.FriXionâ„¢ White: Super sticky, leave no trance, long lasting compound. Ideal for high performance mountain running shoes and indoor climbing shoes.SpecsUpper: Breathable Air-mesh with microfiber reinforcement band with anti-abrasion coating +Endurance Platform: upper assembled on a compression EVA platformLining: Mesh + ‘‘Easy-in’’ insert in PU leather for ease of fit and heel stabilityFootbed: Ortholite® Hybrid Mountain RunningMidsole: EVA with shock absorbing injectionSole: FriXion White with IBS and integrated shockproof rubber toe capColour: YellowColour: BlackGender: MaleMaterial: MeshMaterial: MicrofiberMaterial: Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA)Season: 2022Weight: 355 gMade in: ChinaOriginal Colour by Producer: Black/YellowWeight (g): 355.0Activity Type: TrekkingActivity Type: HikingAge Group: AdultSize EU: 41Size UK: 7,5Size US: 8,5: Hiking Boots: Running (CMS): Male (CMS): Adult (CMS)
