La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 Mid GORE-TEX Men's Walking Boots

The third iteration of this iconic hiking boot, the Raptor 3 GORE-TEX are as versatile as they are technical. From long-distance treks to local trail hikes, these are an adaptable companion for adventurous hikers on the hunt for their next challenge.

GORE-TEX Upper

Keep feet comfortable and shielded on trails and in difficult hiking conditions. Thanks to the Raptor 3 Mid's durable, recycled mesh upper, the materials are both breathable and protective for comfort on future hikes. The breathable ripstop mesh features strategic perforations, delivering feet with optimal levels of fresh, cool air to prevent overheating or discomfort during active periods. With quick-drying capabilities, the uppers effectively wick moisture from the surface, preventing moisture build up or sweat under pressure, so you can enjoy every experience with dry feet. The durable construction of the ripstop helps reduce the risks of damage during knocks, bumps and scrapes on the trail, whilst the reinforced rubber toe cap and rand stop rocks and roots from damaging your boots or hurting your feet. A breathable GORE-TEX ePE Extended Comfort lining adds an ideal layer of waterproof protection to prevent wet and uncomfortable feet. For in-shoe security, the walking boots feature a soft tongue, whilst the padded collar protects your ankles and keeps out stones, gravel and other debris. Finally, the Raptor 3 Mids feature a traditional lace-up to keep you focused, providing a locked-in, secure fit.

EVA Midsole

A soft, supportive midsole ensures all-day comfort when you're tackling the trails. The EVA midsole supplies the Ultra Raptor 3 Mids with a soft, comfortable landing base and ensures an energetic walking experience. Absorbing shocks and propelling you into each stride, the soft midsole compound keeps you focused on every adventure. Combined with a more compact EVA layer under the heel, they provide you with increased support and increased stability across long hiking adventures. Working in tandem, the Ortholite Hybrid Mountain Hiking 5mm sockliner provides maximum comfort during intense hikes.

FriXion White Outsole

Super sticky, the FriXion White compound adorns the outsole of the Ultra Raptor 3 GORE-TEX Mid. Optimising your grip on varied terrain, the super grippy rubber ensures stability and support on all surfaces, with a durable construction that ensures long-lasting performance. This unique design delivers outstanding grip on inclines and, working with the Impact Brake System, the technology absorbs shocks, providing increased traction, making them a perfect shoe for downhill control and uphill traction. Finally, strategically placed flex grooves along the sole allow you to move your feet flexibly and comfortably, providing you with free movement when scrambling, and a TPU heel counter further adds stability with every step. The Waterproof Ultra Raptor is a tough all-rounder designed to help you explore.
