Alp Trainer Mid GTX Hiking Boot

The Salewa Men's Alp Trainer Mid GTX Hiking Boots combine the lightweight comfort of hikers with the technical features of approach shoes. Their split leather upper maintains a flexible and comfortable feel when you're putting miles of rolling trails beneath them, while their 3F support system locks your heel in place when some extra rigidity is needed in exposed terrain. Climbing-style laces allow the fit of the boot to be customized, and with a Vibram approach sole between your foot and the ground, you can step with confidence when the trail turns slick.

Angels Landing tested and approved

Got these in time for a trip out to Zion Nat'l Park. Went back and forth between two sizes, ended up going with larger size so I could wear thicker socks (thanks for the easy returns!). Tightening up the laces (using surgeon's knot) locked my heel in just fine. Did 10 miles of hiking the first day, 14 the next, including Angel's Landing. The Approach sole lived up to it's billing as a shoe that "effortlessly grips"--felt totally at ease climbing up to the top. I list the size as "true"--because even though they are narrow, the length is accurate. I buy a lot of Salewas just for that reason, since I have really narrow feet. Even with Salewas, I still usually have to do some tricks (like lacing, and insoles) to keep from getting heel rubs.

Please no GTX!!!

Familiarity:
I returned this product before using it
Size Bought:
10.5

I gave 3 stars because the design of the boots is phenomenal, despite the downsides. I?ll get to the negatives in a bit. The alp trainer felt true to size. I always wear a 10.5 in everything and the Salewa 10.5 felt on point. The lacing to the toes is exactly what I was looking for as well. However....the loss of 2 stars comes only from the GoreTex. I bought these despite my reservations because a friend recommended them. I just couldn?t get past the suctiony, noisy, and obnoxiously loose GoreTex membrane. I have now realized that I just can?t do GoreTex in footwear. I prefer letting my feet get wet and dry out as quickly as possible after the puddles/crossings. If you love GTX, then these should be great for you. As for me, I?d just beg Salewa to make these without GoreTex. Thanks for reading!

Great hiking boots

I bought these for hunting. I had never heard of them before so I was very apprehensive about buying them. Were they actually a true fit, would they hold up, were they going to be comfortable were some of my concerns. Right out of the box the most comfortable boot I have ever purchased. They seem to be very rugged and I believe will hold up. They are a true fit and also waterproof. These are my go to boots.
