La Sportiva says:
The Ultra Raptor 3 MID GTX hiking boots are as versatile as they are technical. Whether tackling a long-distance trek or hitting local trails, these shoes are an adaptable bit of kit to take you there. The durable ripstop upper is reinforced with a rubber toe cap and rand to protect against rocks and roots. And a breathable GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort lining adds waterproofness. The midsole combines a soft material with a more structured layer under the heel for increased support. And the padded collar protects your ankle while keeping out stones, gravel and other debris. A FriXion® White compound outsole with Impact Brake System™ technology provides outstanding grip for uphill traction and downhill control. Flex grooves along the sole boost freedom of movement for scrambling, while a TPU heel counter adds stability with every step. The Ultra Raptor 3 MID GTX boots are tough all-rounders made to help.
