Overview

Salewa built the Alp Trainer Mid around a Gore-Tex membrane and a Vibram Hike Approach sole for mixed mountain terrain. A suede upper and mesh interior keep it light, and the removable footbed adjusts to foot shape.

Waterproofing with breathable construction suits hikers who sweat on climbs but cross wet ground. Weight and shaft height are not stated, which matters for comparing boots.

Who it's for

Day hikers and fast trekkers on rocky paths get grip and dry feet. Backpackers with heavy loads may want more ankle structure.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Waterproof, breathable membrane
  • Vibram sole for mixed terrain
  • Footbed adjusts to foot shape
  • Suede upper resists scuffs
Cons
  • Weight not listed
  • Shaft height not given
  • Limited insulation for winter

Performance notes

Breathability comes from an unlined build around the Gore-Tex membrane, so vapor escapes faster than in padded boots. Grip on rock and dirt depends on the Vibram approach sole, which uses a flatter zone for scrambling.
