How it's like the Ultra Raptor trail running shoe

This 'Leather Mid' boot version features a similar sole package to the Ultra Raptor trail running shoe. That means the same traction, stickiness, support and feel underfoot. The upper also has debossed zones that give it the 'Ultra Raptor feel'.

Features

These walking boots are waterproof thanks to a Gore-Tex® membrane. There are also lots of stability features, including an external TPU heel counter and TPU shank insert that helps mitigate ankle-rolling movements. The innovative cuff is just the right combination of flex and support, offering good protection from debris also.
