Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Men's Hiking Boots Java Blue/Black Size 45

Step onto the trail in the Salewa Alp Trainer 2, a men's hiking boot built for demanding mountain terrain. Whether you're tackling a rocky ridge, crossing a scree field, or hiking a long approach, the Java Blue/Black colourway combines style with rugged performance. The 1.6mm suede leather upper with a full rubber rand resists abrasion, while the GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining keeps your feet dry and breathable through stream crossings and summer downpours. The Vibram® Alpine Hiking outsole bites into loose dirt and wet rock, and the Salewa 3F System with climbing lacing locks your heel in place for precise footwork on via ferrata and technical sections. With an 11mm drop and EVA midsole, every step is cushioned and stable, making this boot a reliable companion for multi-day treks and fast-paced hikes alike.
