I’ve been using the Ultra Raptors for the last couple of years. They replaced some Scarpa Deltas which I found way too heavy duty and clumpy for the walking I was doing.
I really like them. I got some insoles to go with them and they fit perfectly. They are very lightweight (compared to my Scarpas at least) but still feel protective and supportive enough.
The waterproofing is not as good as the Scarpas were though. Although maybe that’s not a fair comparison as they are probably a 1/3 of the weight. But I will definitely buy another pair when I eventually wear these out
Just today I wore them up Ben More.

I have some ultra raptors I got given by a mate, they're a high volume shoe so be aware of that. The bottom of his feet got blistered as they floated around.
Check their charts and graphs for that info. Could look at their hike or tx5 variants.

I’m selling my adidas Terrex free hiker gtx boots - they’re just a little small and too voluminous. My feet slide around in them on downhills and my toes bump the fronts. That said they’re great on flats and the cushioning is fantastic on hard or metalled paths.
So - need a replacement. Lightweight, waterproof, mid height, cushioned. Looking at the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor ii mid. Anyone familiar with them, or other recommendations?
