Salewa Alp Trainer 2 GTX Women's Hiking Shoes - Syrah/Black - UK 5.5 (EU 38.5)

Rocky scrambles, muddy approaches, and sudden downpours can turn a promising alpine trek into a slog—unless your footwear is built for the challenge. The Salewa Alp Trainer 2 GTX for women meets that challenge with a rugged suede upper, a waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane, and a Vibram® outsole that grips everything from wet grass to via ferrata iron rungs.

Who is it for

Built for female hikers and mountaineers who tackle demanding trails, alpine treks, and technical approaches. The standard fit accommodates most foot shapes, while the climbing lacing system extends to the toe for a precise, secure lockdown on steep terrain.
