Why We Like The Mountain Trainer GTX Hiking Shoe
The Salewa Men's Mountain Trainer GTX Hiking Shoe lives for ridgeline scrambles and fast ascents up exposed routes. Taking all the burly ingredients of Salewa's mountaineering boots and implementing them in a low-top hiking shoe, the Mountain Trainer delivers all the rigidity and support you'd expect from an alpine boot but in a more nimble design.

Great grip and comfort on boulder fields
I got these specifically for White Mountain, NH traverses where the entire hike is spent on jumbled granite boulders. I was looking for a stiffer sole to save feet but with good grip on wet exposed rocks. They work perfectly, better than anything else I’ve tried.

2020 Mountain Trainer model was better
Long time Salewa fan here. Compared to the Mountain Trainer I bought in 2020, this years model gets 3 stars. The laces are way too slippery and the construction and holes for the laces are a step back in practical use. On the bright side: it’s a pair of Salewa’s, and they fit my feet perfectly. Berg heil!

Great for Problem Feet! But buy large
I have arthritis in my feet and the MTN TRAINER 2 GTX SHOES are great for stabilizing my joints while I walk. I love how stiff and solid these shoes are. So far I have used them around my neighborhood for 3-4 mile walks and hope to take them on some longer off road hikes soon. One thing, buyer beware: they run EXTREMELY small and narrow. I normally wear a women’s 8/ men’s 7 and had to buy these in a men’s 8.5. Once I got the right size I am very pleased with my purchase.

Runs a little small
They run small. Excellent shoes great quality, just wish I had ordered them a little bigger. Tried to break them in but still too small had to resort to removing the insoles. Surprisingly still comfortable.

Falta sujecion en el talon
Buen zapato, buena suela y adherencia, pero no a faltar un poco mas de sujecion en el talon, quizas deberia ser un poco mas alto. Los cordones les falta un poco de fluidez, los anterioers corrian mejor. Un saludo

A True Winner

I have worn this shoe on and off for almost two years and I have no complaints. It has a good grip, a very strong sole and still only showing light wear. The only thing wearing out is the shoe lace. The tongue of the shoe does a great job keeping grit out of the shoe and the sole performs well walking over small to medium rocky ground. The shoe breaths very well and it is waterproof for sure, all thanks to constructed with real Goretex. Plus they looks good. I have not put it though the wringer but I have worn it many times in all terrains to prove its versatility. A winner

These are nice shoes, but there's a caveat. If you ever need to replace the laces, be aware that Salewa doesn't stock orange replacement laces - just black ones. Big deal? Maybe. More importantly, the way the shoes are designed - without standard eyelets - you can't re-lace the shoes yourself without an engineering degree and a full set of power tools. And Salewa made it clear to me that they don't care - when I was lucky enough to actually get in touch with them. Bottom line? They should have proper replacement laces available, they should find a new shoe designer and they should pick up the phone and solve problems when loyal customers call.
