Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Mid GTX scarpe da escursionismo uomo nero UK 7 (EU 40.5)

Engineered with a Vibram® Alpine Hiking outsole and a 15 mm heel drop, the Salewa Alp Trainer 2 Mid GTX delivers uncompromising grip and stability on technical alpine terrain. A GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining seals out water while allowing feet to breathe, and the Salewa 3F System locks your heel securely for precise edging and confidence on via ferrata routes.

Overview

Built for alpine trekking, hiking, and via ferrata, these mid-cut men's boots combine a suede leather and synthetic fabric upper with a climbing lacing system that extends to the toe for a custom, secure fit. The rubber toe rand shields against rock abrasion, while the EVA midsole and Ortholite® footbed absorb shock and reduce fatigue over long approaches. At approximately 550 g per shoe (UK 8), they strike a balance between rugged protection and agile movement.
