La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 Woman GTX women's trail running shoes

The Ultra Raptor 3 Woman GTX by La Sportiva is a women's trail running shoe designed to successfully tackle every challenge on various types of terrain, from short to long distances. This third edition of the iconic model features the GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort membrane, which offers total waterproofing and exceptional tear resistance, keeping the foot cool and dry thanks to superior breathability. The upper is made of durable recycled mesh with a ripstop structure for optimal ventilation, complemented by a reinforced toe cap and a rubber rand that protect the toes from rocks and roots. A key detail is the integrated gaiter at the collar of the shoe, specifically designed to prevent the entry of stones, gravel, and debris during activity. The midsole combines soft cushioning for all-day comfort with a compact EVA foam insert in the heel that maximizes support and stability, supported by the 5 mm Ortholite® Hybrid Mountain Hiking insole. The FriXion® White rubber outsole ensures extraordinary grip on slopes, while the Impact Brake System™ technology absorbs impacts and increases traction on descents. Characterized by an 8 mm drop, a heel height of 35 mm, and 4.5 mm lugs, this footwear ensures stability thanks to the TPU heel and a natural freedom of movement through the flex grooves along the sole. Sustainability is ensured by the extensive use of recycled materials for the upper, lining, laces, and midsole, making it a technical and responsible choice for every outdoor adventure.
