For hikers who prefer the fit of trail running shoes, the Ultra Raptor II offers solid underfoot support without added weight. Plus, it’s easier to walk (and drive) to the trailhead in these boots than in our other picks.

OutdoorGearLab

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX is an exceptional lightweight hiking boot that offers superior comfort, breathable Gore-tex protection from the elements, and a durable and aggressive lug pattern that will keep you sure-footed when covering uneven terrain. While our testers experienced comfort directly out of the box, we recommend sizing up about a half size in these boots as they run a bit on the small side. They are also available for order in a wide option for a more customized fit. 
Besides impressive comfort, the Ultra Raptor also offers a 5-inch shaft and comfort collar that surround the ankle and a durable lacing system that creates stability while in motion. The traction was on par with the best hiking boots that we tested, featuring Frixion XF 2.0 rubber outsoles with an Impact Brake System and Trail Bite heels, allowing for excellent traction and control in various mountain landscapes. Did we mention this high-performing hiker is available at a reasonable price? This boot is an all-around champ.

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX is a rough and ready trail running shoe that has been beefed to be one of the best all-terrain machines out there. With the comfort of a shoe and the support and traction of a boot, the Ultra Raptor punches well above its weight class. This is the hiking boot for you if you want the most capable cross-country footwear while also keeping weight down and prioritizing on-trail walking comfort &mdash; something that similarly capable, heavier-weight models don't always do a good job at.
Our main gripe with the Ultra Raptor II Mid is the sizing: we had to reorder these boots in a half size larger than our normal street shoe size to find the right fit. But, given that La Sportiva also offers this boot in a wide version, prospective users should be able to get the right fit armed with that knowledge.

 so there are options. There are a lot of good good, really good options. Um, out there in that price range. It really depends on your fit, on your personal preference and this to me is definitely in the in the top three, not number one, but in the top three

 They meet the criterias just perfectly. They're mid-sized they're waterproof. They're they fit excellent. They're extremely comfortable

 So just so we clear. So let's start from uh, the very first factor that contributes to the comfort level, of course, is the weight. And uh, this is size 10. And the size 10 is, let's see, visible

 Keep that in mind. Um, usually I recommend getting half a size bigger for your boots so that you have a little bit of extra space here at the front. With these, I would recommend going probably the whole size. The whole size

Best Hiking Boots for Women 2022 - GearLab

 We've got a little more information here. This was, um, called Switchback Travel and they gave a review on it about what they liked about them. Competitively light at just over two pounds, with an agile trail runner-like feel to match, that's the cool thing. They're lightweight and if you had to pick up and run in them, sounds like you could do so

 excited about them There they are again them things are sharp looking dude. hey hey getting mountain ready baby. do some step up and step downs on the truck here baby. Gonna hit a few forward lunges going uphill

 I needed a comfortable, durable boot that provided good traction for my Mount Whitney hike. These boots formed really well to my foot. They were comfortable and provided a lot of support. I hiked over ice, mud, dirt, steep slopes and even in water and over slippery rocks

La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Boot Review!

Bought these as an early season hunting boot for the CO mountains. 55 miles in 5 days on Rocky Mountain terrain. Boots held up very well and I did not have any hot spots or soreness. Almost no break in period

 Boots held up very well and I did not have any hot spots or soreness. Almost no break in period. Stepped through marshes and my feet stayed dry as well so the waterproofing liner held up well (gore-tex is the best). Feet were warm at dawn break and sundown with lightweight wool socks so I’d say these boots are good for temperatures as low as 25 if you’re moving and 35 if you’re sitting

Amazing lightweight boot. Be careful with sizing.

 Now let's look at some of the stats on the Ultra Raptor 2 Mid Gtx. We start with the drop where we have 12 millimeters and we can also talk about the overall height of the midsole as well. So at the front it's 16 millimeters and moving to the back it's 28 millimeters so the difference between those two numbers gives you the drop of 12 millimeters. The leg height is already mentioned is 4

 We have Black Topaz and we have Carbon Topics and Carbon Topaz is the color which comes in the two width options, both the regular and the white option. So thanks very much for your time and attention. I really wish you great journeys and many happy times on the trails! [Music] So you.

 so we have the wide option and the regular fit option. So moving on to the woman's colors, we have the Carbon Red Plum. We have Black Topaz and we have Carbon Topics and Carbon Topaz is the color which comes in the two width options, both the regular and the white option. So thanks very much for your time and attention

 Now we have our ortholite mountain hiking footbed liner and that's a five millimeter thick one. So now looking at the midsole and outsole of the shoe, we have injection molded Eva which is our cushioning layer and gives a great amount of comfort. And looking at the bottom of the shoe, you can see here from the side as well as the bottom you can see a stability element which is a Tpu shank and that helps to stop that twisting or torsional movement which you get when you're walking over uneven and and more tricky difficult ground. the bottom of the Shoe: The rubber compound we use here is our friction white

 Also, they are super good looking shoes, almost looks like it has snake skin. Great grip too on a class 3 14er

 Haven’t had any noticeable amounts of water seep through. One thing, I definitely recommend that you get this shoe so it fits tight, otherwise your toe will hurt on a hike from your foot sliding around.

REVIEW: La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX

Switchback Travel | La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX Review

La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Trail Runner Review

Upgrade Pick

The La Sportiva Nucleo High II GTX is our favorite boot for coming out of water crossings unscathed. The Gore-Tex Surround lining and nubuck leather upper kept our feet dry, and the boot itself dried quickly after splashing through streams. The gusseted tongue also helped with water repellency. These are also one of the lighter pairs in this category, which definitely saved our feet after long miles. The Vibram sole has pleasantly grippy lugs, and the heel has some rock to it that makes it easier to brace and brake on downhills. 
This boot's stability was a little disappointing. Even though it has extra cushioning on both the inside and outside of the ankle, the upper still gives way under torsion. We also found the lace hooks curiously and frustratingly difficult to use. It means that the laces stay really secure, but we've never really experienced issues with lace hooks on other models, so we aren't sure why La Sportiva went with the hard-to-use redesign here. In any case, for those who will be stomping through puddles and making their way across streams, brooks, and shallow rivers, this model is our first choice.

 Most comparable boots are heavier: the Asolo Falcon GV is 2 pounds 2.6 ounces and less supportive, and the Oboz Sawtooth II Mid clocks in at 2 pounds 6 ounces. The next step down in weight consists of trail running-inspired designs from brands like Hoka One One and Altra, but those shoes compromise big time in terms of stability and durability in order to shave weight. In the end, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a lighter boot that offers similar levels of support and protection

  Another quality hiking boot in this category is Asolo’s Falcon GV. The Falcon is one ounce heavier than the Nucleo at 2 pounds 2.6 ounces and has comparable technical chops. Comfort also was great out of the box (we think it gets the slight edge here over the Sportiva), and the Falcon has a more accommodating fit for those with average feet, which made a big difference for us

What We Don’t Narrow fit and no wide sizes means that people with regular to wide feet are simply out of luck. Pricey for a lightweight hiking boot at nearly $200. Some users have reported durability issues with the eyelets and heel brake, although we did not experience these ourselves.

 It’s also quite easy to tighten the laces securely around the foot and ankle, and we experienced no ankle rolls or signs of weakness or instability while scrambling over rock. All in all, because of its low weight, the Nucleo doesn’t feel cumbersome or unwieldy underfoot, yet it’s noticeably more supportive than most hiking shoes we’ve tested and a standout in the lightweight boot category. Protection Protection is another strong suit of the La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX. Despite the low weight, these boots are impressively hardwearing

Switchback Travel | La Sportiva Nucleo High GTX Review

 Ordered a half size larger, 13.5, than my work boot size. Fit is correct. So far so good

comfortable boot

 They have not had heavy mileage.  I have contacted La Sportiva directly and they have been less than helpful. They simply note that boots wear out. If you are happy to pay over $200 for a pair of boots that only last 18 months with irregular and not heavy use then these are the ones for you as they are comfortable
