Both weigh the same, so the specs decide.
The La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 and the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II both weigh 710 g a pair.
Weights are per pair as Alpinetrek lists them, usually for a medium size, so a few grams either way can come from the size they weighed. The other specs were checked on 19 October 2026 against Alpinetrek (La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3) and Alpinetrek (La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II). "Not stated" means the source does not mention it, not that the shoe lacks it. List prices are the full price shown by that source, not a sale price; where sources disagree we show none.
Choose the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor 3 if…
…you want a sturdier sole and more protection than a trail runner for day hikes and lighter backpacking, without the weight of a boot.
Choose the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor II if…
…you move fast on trails, run some of it, and want the lightest and most flexible shoe; it gives little ankle support under a heavy pack.
