Why We Like The Salewa Dropline Leather Hiking Shoe
Take your pick, the Salewa Dropline Leather Hiking Shoe is either a speed hiking shoe or a casual shoe—or, better yet, both. Lighter than most Salewa shoes, the Dropline can tear up the trail without weighing us down or give us a high-performing everyday shoe to wear off the trail for work and play. The EVA midsoles provide light and comfortable cushioning for all-day comfort while the rubber rand and suede leather uppers protect our feet against rocks and other hazards they might face from the summit to the sidewalk.

My favorite footwear ever! I wear a size 12 and have relatively narrow feet with a high arch. I have some plantar fasciitis going on, but I get all day comfort with these shoes. The tongue stays straight, they stay tied, they feel incredible. I purchased them for the trail, but I wear them everyday, and I plan to get a second pair. No sure how these would work for wide feet?

This is my third pair of Salewa hiking shoes --after wearing out two previous pairs. This is a new model for me and I was not disappointed. The shoes are very supportive, yet comfortable. One word of warning: They are sized smaller than any shoe I owned. I normally wear size 10 and had to jump to 11 to get the proper fit.

Super light, great fit. Very comfortable and fantastic price. Runs a little small, with a light cushion sock order 1/2 size up. I have a medium wide foot and didn’t need the additional insoles for a narrower tighter fit. Break in is minimal, they are leather. Laces stay put and hold the heel down well. Great for trecking and casual wear. Such a great low shoe I had to buy two pairs. Thanks Backcountry for the deal.

I love Salewa, they work very good for my feet, which are quite low volume. However, this style is the first I have found that I do not fit me in my normal size. They are considerably smaller than my other shoes of the same size. I am returning and going to try the next size up. and hopefully they will fit for me.

Very comfortable and great traction!
These shoes run a slightly small so I had to go up from an 8.5 to a 9. The fit is perfect and shoes are very comfortable. I bought these for casual wear and would wear my hiking boots on the trail. However, I think these would be a great trail shoe.

Comfortable and Fragile
These are one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have worn. The thin rubber outsole wore out pretty quickly, though. The rest of the shoes look lightly used and yet they are done because of one critical component with a short lifespan. I walk with a fairly neutral foot placement and haven’t done anything high-wear in regards to what they designed to do. I just ordered Pedroc’s to replace as I have otherwise truly loved wearing Salewa’s.
