5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

TOUGH UPPER

The upper is made from a hard-wearing suede and stretch fabric, reinforced with a front rubber rand for additional protection when scrambling or tackling scree. A breathable Gore-Tex Extended Comfort lining provides reliable waterproofing.

ADAPTABLE FIT

The Multi Fit Footbed Plus insole that comes with the Alp Trainers can be adapted depending on whether the wearer requires more or less volume, ensuring the boots will fit more feet.

ANKLE FLEX

The Flex Collar at the rear of the ankle cuff increases the ankle’s rear range of motion, offering more comfort during descents.

HEEL GRIP

Salewa’s trademarked 3F System uses a steel cable to link the lacing to the heel. This helps hold the heel in place within the boot, ensuring greater ankle support and side stability, and reducing the chance of blisters.

GRIP AND PRECISION The Vibram Alpine Hiking outsole (which is exclusive to Salewa) features dedicated climbing, traction and braking zones, and an aggressive tread pattern. It manages to provide both feel and precision on rocky scrambling terrain, and excellent grip in wet and muddy conditions.
