La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II - Chalk/Black
Description
La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II - Chalk/Black
Aesthetic re-edit of the famous Ultra Raptor model, 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. Ultra Raptor II is also available in a wide-fit comfort version dedicated to runners with wide feet. 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.

Frixion White:
The 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.
Impact Brake System:
The 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.
Injected Eva:
Highe 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.
Ultra Long Distance:
Ideal for long distance, ultra trail and ultra marathon competitions or demanding training sessions. An extremely protective and shock absorbing boot.
