Sticks like glue when you''re faced with steep, technical trails.
Ultra sticky rubber gives the sole of the La Sportiva Men''s Ultra Raptor Trail Running Shoe grip where other trail runners slip. Race along roads, pick through rock gardens, and pound down steep descents without worry. Dynamic midsole cushioning reduces the impact of every foot strike, a rigid toecap guards your toes against rocks, and the unique Impact Brake System uses angled sole-lugs to reduce stress on your joints when you''re running up or down a steep slope. Go the distance with this neutral, stable trail shoe.

Mesh upper encourages airflow that keeps your foot cool, and the TPU overlays help the upper hold your foot in place when you're ascending or descending quickly

Nylon shank adds rigidity to this shoe so your foot and ankle feel supported on unpredictable terrain
EVA rock guard protects your toes from rocks and debris
