Salewa Alp Trainer 2 MID Gore-Tex Shoes - Black
Black trekking boots equipped with a waterproof Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane. They are made from a combination of breathable synthetic fabric and high-quality suede. The material is finished with an antibacterial Cleansport NXT coating that prevents unpleasant odors from forming. Rubber reinforcements around the perimeter protect the upper from damage.
Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane
The modern Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane protects against soaking through while also efficiently wicking away moisture and ensuring very good air circulation. Thanks to its properties, it keeps feet dry even during intense exertion.
Flex Collar collar, 3F System
In the upper part of the upper there is an elastic Flex Collar collar that allows greater range of motion for the ankle joint and provides ankle support when descending steep slopes. The boots feature the innovative 3F System which connects the instep with the sole and heel using a special cord. This solution guarantees foot stabilization in the rear part of the boot while ensuring its full mobility.
Vibram Alpine Hiking outsole
Stable movement in the field is ensured by the flexible and abrasion-resistant Vibram Alpine Hiking outsole made of durable rubber. It provides excellent cushioning, while its non-slip texture and deep tread are responsible for very good grip, also on wet or slippery surfaces.
The boots are equipped with a midsole made of resilient foam EVA. It provides maximum support for the foot, which translates into increased walking comfort. The reinforced toe protects the toes from impacts.
Multi Fit Footbed Plus insoles (MFF+)
The model uses high-quality Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) insoles consisting of two separate, replaceable layers that allow them to be fitted to the footwear.
Climbing Lancing lacing system
The Climbing Lancing lacing system guarantees precise lacing in the toe area, which translates into proper foot support during hiking or climbing. At the back of the upper there is a small strap that makes it easier to put the boots on and take them off.

Gore-Tex Extended Comfort is a single-layer membrane without an additional thermal insulation layer used, for example, in desert boots and summer trekking and tactical boots. Optimal heat conduction together with a moisture management system and high breathability provide adequate thermal comfort, preventing overheating.
MFF+ (Multi-Fit Footbed) is a modular shoe insole system with a simple two-piece design connected by Velcro. It allows shoes to be carefully adjusted to accommodate varying degrees of foot tenacity or the use of socks of different thicknesses, thus providing adequate support during long-term use.
The 3F system is a way of connecting three points on the shoe: the instep, the sole and the heel. The system uses a special design based on a steel cable or strong strap that surrounds the ankle, but does not immobilize the ankle joint. This gives the shoes flexibility, lateral stability and a proper fit, which is important especially on uneven or difficult terrain.
Flex Collar is a flexible soft collar located in the upper above the Achilles tendon. It allows natural ankle movement and does not restrict ankle mobility, and protects the foot by providing a proper fit against injury and abrasion.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.
Climbing Lacing is a type of extended, low-toe area lacing inspired by climbing shoes. It provides a more precise fit of the shoe to the foot and better support, as well as more confident and efficient stepping on difficult terrain.
