Salewa Alp Trainer 2 wandelschoenen Java Blue/Black UK 11.5 (EU 46.5)

Men's hiking shoes built for alpine terrain, the Salewa Alp Trainer 2 delivers foot-hugging stability and reliable grip on rocky ascents and technical trails. Its Vibram Alpine Hiking outsole bites into loose ground, while the Salewa 3F System locks the heel and midfoot for confident edging. A suede leather upper with a PU-coated rand shrugs off abrasion, and the climbing-style lacing lets you fine-tune fit all the way to the toe. The Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) offers two interchangeable layers to adapt volume and cushioning, so the shoe feels personal from the first step. With a 10 mm drop and EVA midsole, it balances underfoot protection with a nimble, approach-shoe feel.

Advantages

The 3F System connects the instep, sole, and heel for a secure, supportive wrap that reduces slippage on steep ground. The full climbing lacing extends to the toe, giving precise adjustment for technical sections or wider forefeet. A protective PU rand and suede upper stand up to scree and rock, while the MFF+ footbed allows quick volume tuning without extra insoles. The Vibram Alpine Hiking sole provides dependable traction on wet rock, mud, and hardpack. At 30 mm heel and 20 mm toe stack, it cushions without losing trail feedback.

• Alpine hiking and trekking on rocky, uneven trails
