Overview
La Sportiva builds the Ultra Raptor Mid Leather GTX as a fast, light hiker with the support of a leather boot. A GORE-TEX lining blocks water, and the Frixion AT sole grips steep descents and slick trails.
Trail-runner nimbleness with ankle support and waterproofing suits fast day hikes in wet terrain. The small fit catches many buyers, so sizing up is essential.
Who it's for
Day hikes and light trekking on rough, wet ground suit this boot. Heavy pack carries need more structure.
Pros and cons
- Grippy sole for descents
- Light for a leather mid
- Rubber toe cap
- Wide width available
- Runs small, size up
- Not for heavy loads
- Leather needs care
Performance notes
The Frixion AT rubber and braking heel lugs grip on steep, loose ground, while the TPU shank adds stability underfoot. GORE-TEX blocks water but limits breathing in heat. The reinforced heel cup holds the foot on uneven terrain.
