In my size the shoes are a little to wide. I need a second pair of socks. The shoe is dry even under wet conditions. On trails and mountail terrain it seems to be a good choice. I hope it will last a season.
The quality (materials and workmanship) appears to be excellent. The cushioning of the sole is better (more) than for a normal category A hiking shoe, which makes sense as this one is derived from a trailrunning shoe. However, sadly, I had to return the shoe, because it fits really small, both regarding length and particularly forefoot width. I own a pair of hiking shoes of a different brand in size 45 1/3, which fits perfectly while allowing me to wear thicker hiking socks. The Ultra Raptor in size 45 was much smaller than that one. I guess one would have to take the wide version AND size 45.5 (or 46?) to get the same fit, but that’s maybe something I should try in a store.
