Salewa Rapace GTX Women's Mountaineering Boots

The Salewa Rapace GTX is a high-performance women's mountaineering boot designed for demanding alpine terrain, via ferrata, and glacier travel. Combining a stiff, supportive construction with GORE-TEX waterproofing and a Vibram WTC outsole, it offers reliable protection and traction on mixed and rocky ground. The semi-automatic crampon compatibility (B2) makes it ideal for technical ascents.
