Men's Salewa Mountain Trainer 2 Mid GTX

The next generation in Salewa's bestselling, robust, and reliable alpine trekking boot. The Mountain Trainer 2 Mid GTX is a hard-wearing suede leather classic wrapped in a full rubber rand that is now even lighter and more flexible than before. Equipped with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX Performance Comfort membrane provides weather protection while giving your foot the ability to breathe. The membrane helps to keep your feet dry and comfortable even during periods of intense activity. The dual-density expanded PU midsole offers a good balance between cushion and stiffness, making this boot versatile enough to tackle steep ground, flat ground, and rocky terrain. The Salewa 3F system combines secure support with comfortable flexibility, providing more stability in the heel zone. The self-cleaning Vibram outsole has been engineered for improved grip and traction for a wide range of terrains and conditions. A few of the staff members have been able to try these boots out for the upcoming season and the initial out-of-the-box fit was exceptional. They took them on a five-mile hike through the Calico Basin covering a variety of different terrain from hard pack trail to loose gravel and rocky terrain. The boots provide great support for the ankle while giving you the flexibility to remain extremely mobile. The confidence you get with every step from the sticky Vibram outsole kept them firmly planted on the rocks as they scaled down the wash on the way out. One staff member will be taking the Mountain Trainer 2 Mid to the Ruby Mountains this year for their fall mule deer rifle hunt.
