Review on ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Find Your Perfect Fit: La Sportiva Men's Ultra Raptor Trail Running Shoe by Steven Emberling

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Feedback after a trip under the PCT section.

I bought a pair of La Sportiva Ultra Raptor Trail Runners for my recent PCT hike in Desolation Wilderness. Normally I wear a size 42, but with these shoes I had to go down to a size 43. Desolation Wilderness is a lot of granite, and there was a lot of wet granite for our hike. I specifically tested the Raptors' grip on wet, slippery, sloping rock. They stuck like glue. Crossing the creek wasn't a problem even dipping my foot in as they dried up quickly. There was plenty of room and great protection thanks to the oversized toe box. They offer good stability. They would have gotten 5 stars if La Sportiva found the right size.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • poorly thought out
