Salewa mens Trekking & Hiking Boots

These are my fifth pair of Salewas. My last pair of Alp Trainer Mid Gore-tex boots lasted 2,500 miles. The outside was still in great shape along with the treads but my son convinced me to get new ones because the mid layer was probably compressed from the mileage. So, I went to OutdoorGearLab and a number of other sites and ordered six pairs of the highest rated boots including these new Salewas. My conclusion was that these Mountain Trainer Lite Mid GTX boots are the most comfortable, supportive, light and best performing hiking boots I've ever owned. I should have just gone back to Salewa the first time. Super comfortable at first and then they got even better. I live in Rangeley Maine so I've been taking these out to showshoe with my Vizsla puppy every day. After 90 - 120 minutes no moisture gets through the barrier and, surprisingly, my wool Darn Tough socks are drenched. Great breathability. And, while beauty is in the eye of the beholder I think these are way cool and have gotten a lot of comments from people about them. And they run very true to size. So, all in all, a fantastic hiking boot.

Boot fits great. Narrow for me, but ok. If wide size is available (can't remember), go for it. Have worn two days, all day, with no problems. Very comfortable, and I hope very durable. Time will tell. Being narrow for a medium size, there's a wider spread of the laces over the tongue. Seems to be a good sturdy light weight boot. I like this boot maker. This is my second boot model from this company.

This is the fifth pair of salewa boots I've owned (great durability in abusive conditions and competent). These are slightly stiffer than the Alp trainer mid which might tire your feet out on long, high angle heavy load climb/hikes, but are more competent in loose dirt and high angle (more than 45 deg incline). Highly stable on loose surfaces due to the tread pattern and lug geometry. They wear well and evenly and it appears Salewa pays attention to where the typical failure/wear points are and reinforces them. With ALL salewa boots there is almost no break in period and they're extremely comfortable, breathable, waterproof. These boots are my go to on all of my mountain training before, during and after mountaineering season.

The negatives: The weight listed is per shoe....who does this? So the weight is twice as heavy as I was expecting. It is not as light as my 2017 OBOZ Traverse (which I wish they'd put back in production) but it is close. The cuff is too rigid but would likely break in with time. The boot has a slight forward "lean" (think ski boots) which I think would take some time to get used to. The boot rides higher on the ankle than other Mids which may be uncomfortable to some people. The positives The lacing is excellent, I mean, almost perfect except for the lack of a lock lace at the top. You get really good ankle support as a result of this and the high-mid size. The boot is very rigid so it gives excellent support. The soft feel of the boot makes it really comfortable around the toes. The same high collar that might make the boot uncomfortable for some also provides excellent support. You ankle and foot are really locked into this shoe and I'd feel really secure wearing it. The tread was super sticky - likely the best I've ever tested.

I use these for tree climbing and they are an excellent choice. Tons of grip and support where you need it, work well even when wet. I can’t recommend these enough.

I’m rough on boots in my line of work. I can usually get 6 to 8 months out of a pair of these types of hiking boots. These lasted one month. I bought them at the end November and retired them in the beginning of January. Because we had snow I was wearing my muck boots a lot durning that time. So they might not have lasted even a month. The price is to high for these boots. The stitching is weak in high stress spots on the boot. I can not recommend these boots. Unless they drop the price down to $50. That is all they are worth.

I bought these on Mar 10 and wore them for a week to break in. Then took them on a 16 mile backpacking weekend in the Smoky Mountains. It's way early to comment on long term comfort. I bought these because I required better ankle support. What I Like so far... 1. They do look cool. 2. Kept my feet dry through shallow crossings. 3. Extremely sure footed and grippy soles. 4. Higher ankle support was great. 5. The lacing around the toebox allows you to really get a contoured fit. 6. We descended 3500 ft the first day and initially my toes were getting shoved into the front of the toebox on every downhill step. But after I took the time to lace well, they really did keep my heel pulled into the back of the boot and solved the problem. This was really appreciated. Concerns but too soon for final judgement.... 1. Feet got cold at night in 27 deg with wool socks. Not too bad but my Merrell Moabs are warmer. but I didnt really buy these boots for warmth. 2. After the first long day my feet were not comfy. The stock insole padding is poor. I replaced them with SuperFeet insoles, but haven't hiked with those yet. 3. One of the shoelace tips has already cracked and halfway off. After 20 days of ownership? Pretty disappointing. Overall I do like the boots and they might deserve 4 stars, but if you ask for a review after 20 days, you get a 20 day review.

These are the second set of boots I'm going into. I wore the first pair till there was almost nothing left. They're geat trail boots. The toe box is big enough to not jam up your toes. That's very important in a set of boots you plan to put hundreds if not more mile on. Like my first pair, they took one day and about maybe 5 miles to break in. Then they were ready to go on much longer hikes. These are great boots simply put, especially from spring to early fall.

Bot alırken en önemli iki kriter ürünün malzeme/işçilik kalitesi ve dayanıklılığı. Salewa üst düzey malzeme ve işçilik kalitesine sahip teknik ürünler üretiyor. Uygun fiyatını görünce amazon.de'den aldım. Siz de çok ağır bir çarşak yürüyüşü yapmayacaksanız dayanıklılığı sizi tatmin edecektir. Mountain Trainer serisini öneririm.

Very light and comfortable, still water proof after two week hiking. Fit as expected, because I always wear 44 EU Salewa boots. The sole is not very stiff and provides good grip on wet rock. Ideal hiking boot for light terrain and warm weather. The workmanship and materials are superb, but bear in mind these are hiking not mountaineering boots

Excelente calidad, excelente muy cómodas y el número exacto, buenos materiales

These boots are very good and really are comfy to wear for long periods. Ankle support is great and are perfect for my long dog walking outings in different terrains. Will buy again but are really wearing well with daily use.

Ho portato questo scarponcini con me per delle camminate semplici in islanda e sono rimasto positivamente sorpreso: sono molto comodi e possono essere indossato tutto il giorno, perfino per guidare. Resistono bene all'acqua perché ho affrontato diversi guadi senza mai sentire i piedi umidi. L'unica pecca é che per me sono leggermente larghi nella pianta del piede e in passaggi più complicati il piede non é ben saldo all'interno della scarpa. Ma magari stringendo di più i lacci si risolve. La suola ha una buona tenuta sia sulle rocce che sulla neve e filtra abbastanza bene i colpi.
