Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Mid GTX Men's Hiking Boots Walnut/Fluo Orange UK 10 (EU 44.5)

Alpine terrain punishes footwear that can't handle rocky scrambles, muddy approaches, and sudden downpours. The Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Mid GTX answers with a rugged yet agile design built for technical hiking and via ferrata. A GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining keeps water out while allowing sweat to escape, so feet stay dry from stream crossings to summit pushes. The suede and synthetic upper is reinforced with a protective rand, shielding against scree and abrasion. Underfoot, a Vibram Alpine Hiking outsole grips confidently on wet rock and loose dirt, while the EVA midsole and Salewa MFF+ footbed deliver cushioning and customizable support. The 3F System connects ankle, heel, and forefoot for a precise, secure fit, and the climbing lacing extends to the toe for fine-tuned adjustment on technical sections. With a 15 mm drop and a mid-cut profile, these boots balance stability and mobility for long days in the mountains.
