Salewa Mountain Trainer Mid Gore-TEX Boots Mens

The Salewa Mountain trainers are what i consider to be a crossover boot between a Burly backpacking boot and an entry level mountaineering boot. The Mt trainers have the attitude of a mountaineering boot but lacks a true stiff midsole. I also own a pair of Salewa crows which have a complete stiff sole. The mt trainers are a great option if you're scrambling, backpacking, hiking through scree and hopping over talus rocks. You can used them for normal hiking but they may be overkill for some people because they are in the heavier side, you're definitely not going to win any marathons with these. I definitely love the style and colorway, however I do wish they came with green laces instead of the oranges ones but that a small gripe. I highly suggest going 1/2 to a full size larger on these for several reasons,1) they are made in Europe, European made shoes tend to run smaller.2) highly recommend to use wool socks, thicker socks take up more volume3) your feet will swell up at the end of the dayIm a size 10 and i bought these in a size 11 and im really glad i did. You also may want to put in a good aftermarket insole, Salewa's multi fit foot bed insoles are flat and really dont cushion well. Overall these are extremely well made boots, if you're looking for a great backpacking boot that can be used even in just about all kinds of mountain terrain than these are the boots for you.

Simply AWESOME boots. I'm now a big fan of this Salewa company. I was previously a fan of Asolo company for boots, however, my recent 2 pairs fell apart in no time at all and Asolo wouldn't help me out. I had purchased one of those pairs in Spain and Asolo said i had to return them in the country where they were purchased....ummm, ok i'll just go with a different company next time. I tried several other brands and decided to give these Salewa boots a try. I love these boot!. They are very comfortable and seem to be extremely well made. Gore Tex, simple design, stable, supportive. I notice the toe box flares out compared to the foot bed which gives plenty of room for wider foot profiles. You won't regret these.

Amazing shoes, I'm probably going to buy a second pair for back up. I have Salewa firetails, and find that I have to buy larger sizes than normal in the firetails. Based on the size reviews I read online I chose to get a half size smaller than my firetails for these and they fit perfectly. Great if you have really wide feet - I struggle to find shoes that fit me, especially difficult because I have full length custom insoles. I thought that the firetails were the most comfortable shoes in the world, but these are even better. A wider toe than the firetails, great lateral ankle support and have a really nice cushy feel on the ankles. I recently had an ankle injury and these have been great for enabling me to walk on uneven ground on the farm for long periods without further aggravating the ankle.

Excellent quality boots. I wear an 8-8.5, so I bought the 8.5. I generally have a difficult time finding narrow enough boots. With that said, these are VERY narrow, causing my little toe to rub. They were too narrow for me. NOTE: these boots are shipped from their headquarters in Germany. Return shipping is only reimbursed up to $20. UPS quoted me $200 to return. I’ll be trying to sell these on EBay instead.

I have had the best experience with other Salewa hiking boots, they are the best.To winter time works great

This is my third pair of similar styles boots. The sizing has been spot on with every pair. They all have quickly broken in and I’m expecting this third pair to give great support and comfort as the first two.I’m in the woods a lot and everyone is looking for a comfort and support, which they have, it’s the grip I get that is probably my favorite.The confidence in the grip while climbing over downed trees, roots and rocks whether wet or dry is fantastic.

The boots are SUPER perfect. They were slightly narrow for my wife feet at first but packed out quick and still stay tight. The cables on the side keep them snug on your ankle but still have a ton of mobility. I climb trees (literally my job) with these boots and have been trekking around steep granite hills in them. They don’t get hot, and offer awesome capabilities. Highly recommend. But the sellers were rude, smug, and delayed shipping. My stars reflect the boots, not the sellers.

Good boot with extra width in toe box to reduce toe blisters. Ankle support is solid and overall weight is lower than most boots with that support. Added my aftermarket insoles which give me more underfoot padding and overall stability. Fit was still generous enough to handle.
