Review: Awesome hiking boots - Amazing. I prefer the old school leather hiking boot look...but, this boot has broken me of that bias. Save the leather boots for casual wear. These boots weigh a little more than a pair of sneakers. The footbed is ridiculously rigid and the ankle support is awesome. I try to do 1,000 feet of elevation or more every weekend. Just the weight reduction vs. other boots pays off. However, the weight reduction doesn't mean less performance. The toe box is narrow. I can feel it on the outside (near the pinky) when descending. I try to keep the laces loose near the toes and tight up top but, after a couple hours the toes get snugger. I will try removing the laces from the lower couple of loops and snug them up on the top. I've only done five hikes in them so, I am still hoping these parts will conform to my feet when I apply enough sweat and pressure. I'm a 10.5 US in almost any brand. I ordered these in 11. The length is perfect but the toe box is narrow and my foot is normal width. Review: Sized up significantly - perfect. - Based on all of the other helpful reviews, I opted to size up, in both regular shoe size AND width. Worked out really well. I'm typically an 11.5 for most shoes and brands. I do not have a wide foot by any means. With these though, I went with a 12.5, wide. It fits perfectly. Incredibly comfortable and seemingly high quality. I haven't taken it out on any strenuous hikes or anything yet, so my ability to comment on function is limited. However, the few times I have taken them out, I've had 0 to complain about. What I can say is, despite the fact they're goretex, I find them incredibly breathable... Which is always a concern for me. They're also quite light for a full boot. ## Features - LIGHT & FAST HIKER: Made for hikers who want a boot that is protective and supports light to medium loads with a light and fast trail running influence. - GORE-TEX WATERPROOF PROTECTION: Keep your feet dry with Gore Tex waterproof and breathable lining.

Users who hike long distances, use thick socks, or are new to La Sportiva may consider an addition 1/2 up. - SURE GRIP: Frixion XT 2.0 Outsole with Impact Brake System provides excellent traction and stability on steep descents, slick trails and uneven ground. Anti-shock rubber toe cap protects toes from unexpected trail obstacles. - ANKLE SUPPORT: Comfort collar adds ankle protection with an easy-fit spoiler.

They're also quite light for a full boot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally a Great off-trail hiking boot *by K***N on February 5, 2024* My hiking boots off about 20 years finally had to be retired. I tried a few brands until these and I am very pleased. I recommend buying a wide size as the toe box is a bit tight. If you can - go to an actual store try them on and them order on Amazon for the price. As I do off-trail hiking, the exterior toe protection is key and seems to be holding up unlike prior versions. The sole grip although seems hard, is holding up walking on slope rocks. Another plus is the light weight as I do a lot of vertical, trail above your head type hiking and the last thing I want is to be weighted down with heavy boot. So far so good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/329673115-la-sportiva-mens-ultra-raptor-ii-mid-gtx-hiking-shoe](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/329673115-la-sportiva-mens-ultra-raptor-ii-mid-gtx-hiking-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
