SalewaMen's Trainer Mid GTX Alpine Trekking Boot Hiking

My husband got these for his work, he is in his feet every day 12hr. A day, these keep his feet in good shape and he is in much less pain now.

As usual great quality and fit , did not care for the neon green lace hooks third down from top when all the others are black, I knew that when I purchased them so I painted them black and polyurethane them as well because I love Salewa boots

I work law enforcement in a western metropolitan area in the US. I use these boots for work. They are great! I replaced the silver laces with black ones and painted the lime green lace-hook black with some acrylic paint.They have almost zero break in period and are super comfortable. They feel almost like a mix between durable sneakers and mat shoes. I was nervous the sole would be too stiff for city work but they are perfect. Love that they're water proof.I have only been using them for about two months (~April-May 2023) so I will have to see how they hold up. My suspicion is the tread will wear fast working almost entirely on pavement. But time will tell. Highly recommend.

Excellent fit and finish

I bought the previous version of the Salewa Alp Trainer Mid GTX size 8 at the end of 2016. Love the boots, the Vibram outsole and the GORE-TEX are holding on extremely well, so I decided to give it a go to this newer version size 8.5.After I ordered it, then I knew that it was actually coming from Europe, I waited with high expectation and it finally arrived.... The reason I ordered size 8.5 this time cause the old pair was a little tight after walking for a few miles, so I decided a half size upgrade should be enough to give more toe room. But the size 8.5 is actually the same length and even slightly narrower then my size 8. I tried to return.... but it would cause me $70.00 postage to mail it back to Europe..... I am stuck.Why would the same brand and the same style be smaller!!!!!!!!! It is just sitting in the closet with tags in the same box doing nothing. And I won't get any visa from my sweet wife for any new shoes until I can get rid of this haunted boots.

I’m a delivery driver, and I walk 15 miles a day on average. I had Salewa’s years ago and liked them. I tried UA for the better price point. But they either didn’t last like Salewa or they hurt your feet after a 11 hour day. I went back to Salewa and there was a difference from day one.

Fit just a little small so I got a half size big and it was perfect . other than that one of the best summer hikers I could recommend.

They are very comfortable out of the box and very reasonably price. The fit is great and really have only one complaint. These are not made in Italy.
