Here's what my husband wanted

My husband says he can't find his shoes where we live and these are the ones he likes best for running and hiking. So he requested them and I was glad I found them at Revain and they came when they were supposed to. Hope they fit right

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Good but not great

Convenient right out of the box

Great pair of hiking shoes. Bought these for hiking in Arizona. Put them on straight out of the box and do two 8 mile hikes in very rocky, dry, loose and sometimes steep terrain and the shoe will hold up very well. I read reviews about this brand and everyone came to the conclusion that the size is too small. ASICS and Merrell's size 11 fits me. I ordered these shoes in size 11.5 and they fit perfectly.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Haven't formed an opinion yet.

I only took shoes once but this climb took 13 hours. My socks weren't the best. The shows went well but by the end of the day I had some good blisters on both feet as well as the top of my heels chafing with the back of the shoe. The fit seems good so I'll just have to look to the future. how they work. I think wearing them down with the wrong socks was too much effort to form a solid opinion.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • 0

Worth buying, but buy big!

I've only taken them on one hike so far, but these are very comfortable shoes! I live in a tropical environment and need shoes that breathe and keep me cool, which definitely happens. The cushioning in the sole is great and very noticeable compared to regular running shoes. No blisters or sores yet and the shoe looks great. I ordered a half size up and they fit just right. The woman was jealous and ordered a pair of women's shoes, also half a size larger. She said her toes barely touch theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Reliability

Great trail runners and all rounders

This is my third pair of Ultra Raptors. They're great for trail running, hiking, driving, you name it. The toe box offers good protection and the outsole offers excellent grip in the mud (especially on descents). In addition, a first-class insole (no need to buy Superfeets etc.). I usually wear size US 12 and size 46 fits me perfectly. Two small disadvantages: 1) poor grip on wet stone or concrete. 2) The raised lugs wear out quickly if you do a lot of walking on concrete (but after the mainโ€ฆ

  • Perfect fit for me

Great shoe, very breathable and dries quickly when exposed to water.

Great shoes for hiking. Used these shoes on a trip to Zion National Park and some surrounding areas in Utah and Arizona. Excellent grip throughout the ride and they dry quickly when wet. Found these on the recommendation of a travel website that specifically recommends them for use in the famous Narrows as most of the hike is underwater and these shoes dry quickly. I found that the combination of these boots and neoprene socks (for diving) kept my feet warm and dried out quickly after hikingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • Low repairability

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 greatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • poorly thought out
