Gore Tex model created for winter use off-road and over long distances, for ultra marathon competitions and endurance training sessions.
The uppers are made from abrasion resistant, breathable, water repellent mesh and the lining uses the Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane to guarantee water resistance and breathability. The integrated lacing system uses a webbing stitched to the inner stretch fabric while the high frequency reinforcements remain on the external mesh fabric: this allows for an optimal distribution of foot tension and keeps the foot in check without compromising overall comfort. Ultra Raptor GTX brings together the advantages, in terms of performance, of a snug fit construction, to the superior comfort levels of wide fit models. The result is a product that can be worn for many consecutive hours and for endurance on any type of off road terrain both in the winter or in conditions of extreme humidity, thanks to the Gore Tex water proof lining. La Sportiva FriXion XF Super sticky sole.

Abrasion resistant Mesh + microfiber reinforcement rand with abrasion resistant coating.

Neutral, stable, lightweight, sticky and aggressive; the Bushido is designed for performance on technical terrain.

The “STB Control” construction is a new concept in the world of Mountain running shoes. The TPU frame at the side of the uppers reaches and embraces the midsole in the medial part of the boot. This creates a snug fitting shoe with greater stability thanks to the upper and midsole working together in synergy. It also makes the product even more lightweight by avoiding having to insert heavy stabilizers into the central part of the shoe. The dual mix sole has graded touchpoints. The rounded shape of the external lugs, which gradually rise laterally to touch the midsole, create a continuous contact with the ground, thus maintaining stability in the case of extreme foot torsion. This allows the user to run in safety, even over technical terrain or in the presence of roots, stones and branches. The maximum support and snug fit of the medial part of the foot does not compromise freedom of movement for the toe. The result is a shoe in true La Sportiva style, satisfying the innovative solutions requested by the most demanding runners; rewriting the rules of the game with a totally new construction, never seen before in the trail running category. Bushido: the new way of the trail runner.

Note: TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane) can be fine tuned to create the perfect material for the required end use.  It is highly abrasion resistant and it is exceptionally strong in cold temperatures.  The scrap can also be easily reprocessed.
