Having purchased a ton of the Ultra Raptors in the past, I do have a special connection to them. I’ve used them as a beginning trail runner, and also in my first competitive trail half-marathon.
I think every trail runner could justify having these on their shelves. Maybe you wouldn’t use them for all your runs, but there is no doubt there are tons of running scenarios where I would argue they would make the most sense for your feet.
They are an extremely comfortable shoe that will provide appropriate protection from rocks and roots, and you can put tons of miles on them in comfort.
While a lighter trail running shoe might be great for racing, the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor is possibly the perfect all-around training shoe. Perfect for mountain ascents, or technical single track, this shoe can become a great companion for most trail runners. If this sounds like a shoe you could see yourself running in you can check out more pictures, specs, and current pricing on Amazon below:
Whether you decide on a pair of Ultra Raptors now or later, now you know that there is a pair of shoes well equipped to protect your feet through most any terrain.
