Why We Like The Ultra Raptor Trail Running Shoe


We love to race up and down steep, technical trails when we're wearing the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor Trail Running Shoe. This shoe features dynamic midsole cushioning to soak up rough terrain, a sticky rubber sole that grips like glue, and opposing, slanted sole-lugs that help reduce stress on your ankle and knee when you're ascending or descending steep slopes. Everything about this neutral trail shoe was designed to provide the stability and comfort long-distance endurance athletes need to run far and run wild.

Excellent shoe

I had walked part of the French Camino in 2019 with my favorite hiking boots and got blisters. I wore the La Sportiva’s this time for 32 days and never got one blister. I loved the grip and tread because it was able to handle everything from rough terrain to wet roads. Light enough for very long days of walking between 14-20 miles a day.

Best shoe ever

I notice this is out of stock a d I panic purchased another pair on some obscure website because these are the best shoes I’ve ever run in. Sturdy underfoot and they can take a beating. Comfortable on long runs.

I do a lot of mountain hiking and am very happy to have found these shoes. This is my fourth pair because they are comfortable, have good traction, and are lightweight. After a long day of hiking, I am never in a hurry to take my shoes off. These shoes are the best. Backcountry customer service was stellar when I had an issue one pair.

the best hiking shoes

I bought these after years of trying various trail running shoes for hiking, and they are my absolute favorite. They're stiff and grippy enough for rocky and technical trails, and have been great for various class 3 and 4 scrambles. They're also comfortable enough for 20+ mile day hikes. I've had two pairs that I've put hundreds of miles on, and they've been super durable.

I LOVE this shoe! I have narrow feet and finding a shoe to fit is a challenge. The Ultra Raptor fits perfectly!!! They fit right out of the box so I went on a short cross country run to test them out. I had no problems and the shoes felt good. My foot was stable with no shifting or rubbing. I ordered a 40 (8 1/2) and normally wear an 8 in hikers & running shoes. My foot measures as a 7 1/2 but I always want more toe room. I followed other reviewers? advise and ordered up a half size from my normal running shoe size. Also, this shoe fits even with light weight socks, including the heel area which is often an issue for me with other shoes as my heel is pretty narrow. The shoe is very comfortable and adds stability to my foot when on uneven terrain. It has good grip. I love the blue color, too. This shoe is a total winner for me!

Favorite technical running shoe

I've been wearing the Ultra Raptor for three years now. It is my go to trail shoe for rocky, technical terrain. I love the stability of the shoe, sticky traction of the sole, and toe guard that protects the foot from rocks. I've had them in both colors and enjoy each one. This shoe is durable and comfortable. If you have rocky trails in your area, I definitely recommend this shoe!

Mostly very good

I bought a pair last year and really liked them. This year, the toe box feels narrower/tighter and I am not as pleased. They're not as comfortable and I wish La Sportiva would go back to last year's fit. I keep wearing my old ones even though the new ones are OK.

Great support, my go-to for rugged terrain

I've always loved the Ultra Raptors for the arch support they provide. In a world where minimal/ultra light shoes dominate the market, it's so nice to still find that support, while not feeling encumbered by a stiff and heavy shoe. I use the Ultra Raptor as an approach shoe to climbs with longer, for rugged approaches, because I know my feet will be happy when I arrive.

My Favorite shoe!

I use this shoe from everything to trail running to jumarring on El Cap. It's supportive, stable and very comfortable. You won't be disappointed if you buy this shoe.
