Great potential with poor design
No, I do not recommend this product
These shoes run small, requiring upsizing one full size. They feel snug and secure, instilling a sense of stability and protection. The toe box size is just right. After many miles of breaking them in and hiking in Yosemite, I can attest to their excellent grip (both dry and wet granite), but the heel is so narrow and rigid that I ended up with sore heels and a blister. Also, the inner membrane on the top of one shoe separated from the outer gore-tex fabric, touching the top of the foot with every step, unlike the other shoe (not a big deal but annoying due to asymmetric feel). All in all - could have been a fantastic shoe but ruined by poor heel design. Bummed.

Runs small
Yes , I recommend this product
Haven’t had a chance to put them through the wringer yet, but I’ve worn La Sportiva hiking shoes for years always in a size 42. But the toe box in these is short and had to go up a full size to a 43.

Great All-Around Trail Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Ultra Raptor 3 GTX for a mix of trail runs and longer hikes, and it's handled both better than I expected. It feels sturdy and supportive without being clunky, which is nice when I'm switching from running to hiking on the same trail. The grip has been solid on rocks and loose dirt, and the Gore-Tex kept my feet dry. Overall, it's a great do-it-all trail shoe if you want one pair for both running and hiking.

Ultra Raptor 3 GTX continues the legacy!
As my home crags are in the rainy East coast, I love the numerous GTX (GORTEX lined) hiking and trail shoe options. The Ultra Raptor has been a favorite of mine since it first appeared (a decade ago?)….and the Ultra Raptor 3 GTX continues the legacy!
