Salewa Men's MTN Trainer 2 Mid GTX Hiking Boots Bungee Cord/Black UK 7 (EU 40.5)

Alpine terrain punishes footwear with scree, mud, and rock, demanding a boot that protects without weighing you down. The Salewa MTN Trainer 2 Mid GTX answers with a mid-cut design that supports the ankle, while a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining seals out water and lets sweat escape. A Vibram WTC outsole bites into loose ground, and the Bilight dual-density EVA midsole cushions every step from valley floor to summit.

Who is it for

Men who tackle alpine trekking, via ferrata, and demanding day hikes will appreciate the precise fit and rugged protection. The UK size 7 (EU 40.5) suits narrower feet, and the climbing lacing lets you fine-tune tension for technical sections.
