SALEWA schoenen Mtn Trainer 2 Mid GTX Java Blue-Black UK 8 (42)

The SALEWA Mtn Trainer 2 Mid GTX is a versatile, lightweight hiking boot designed for alpine trekking, hiking, and via ferrata. Combining a supportive mid-cut design with GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining, it offers reliable waterproof protection and breathability for all-day comfort on demanding terrain. The boot features a 1.6mm suede leather and fabric upper, a full protective rubber rand, and a toe cap for enhanced durability. The Vibram WTC 2 outsole provides excellent traction on mixed surfaces, while the Bilight midsole (dual-density EVA) and Ortholite footbed deliver cushioning and support. The Salewa 3F System and climbing lacing ensure a precise, secure fit, and the MFF+ footbed allows for customization. With an 11mm drop (heel 30mm / toe 19mm), this boot is stiff enough for technical approaches yet comfortable for long hikes.
