Great shoe! - La Sportiva Ultra Raptor GTX Trail Running Shoe - Mens

I bought these as both tough trail runners and as hiking shoes when I don't carry a heavy pack or go into rough country. The sole of these Raptors is very sturdy, I even shovel with them at work. So, easy to run or hike on a rocky trail, and will be great when the wet weather comes, and the first snows. The padding around the ankle and tongue make them super comfortable (I wear them all day long at work landscaping). I am a size 43, and always use Sportivas be it for light trail runners or mountaineering boots and everything in between. Being female with a narrow heel, wide forefoot and medium high arch, this brand always fits well with the addition of Superfeet insoles, and I find they hold up quite well.
