I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX Wide Hiking Boot

The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II Mid GTX Wide Hiking Boot is built upon the foundation of La Sportiva's most rugged trail running shoe. This fast and light hiking boot is perfect for tackling more technical trails. Its exceptional traction on rocky terrain sets it apart, thanks to Sportiva's Frixion rubber outsoles equipped with an impact brake system. This feature ensures stability even on steep descents.

Another standout feature of this hiking boot is the TPU stability shank that provides support without adding extra weight. Additionally, the boot is equipped with a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX Comfort Lining, which keeps your feet dry and comfortable on soggy trails and in wet weather conditions. Despite its lightweight design, these mid-cut trail runners feel sturdy and reliable, making you feel like a mountain goat as you conquer your favorite trails.
