SALEWA Wildfire Leather 2 GTX approacheschoenen heren Bombay Brown/Black

Approach shoes often sacrifice protection for sensitivity, leaving your feet vulnerable on rocky scrambles and long descents. The Wildfire Leather 2 GTX solves this by combining a durable suede leather upper, a sticky Pomoca outsole, and a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane—so you can move confidently from trailhead to summit in any weather.

Who is it for

Men who need a versatile shoe for technical approaches, via ferrata, and light hiking. Ideal for climbers and mountaineers who want one shoe that performs on rock, scree, and muddy trails without weighing them down.
