The Alp Trainer 2 is a progressive hiking shoe with a mid-height shaft, made from robust, high-quality suede and stretch upper materials, and features a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining that reliably protects you on various terrains and in changing conditions. A generous rubber rand provides additional protection against rock edges and debris. The shoe offers a precise fit, securely enveloping your foot for support and comfort right from the first wear. SALEWA's proprietary, patented 3F System includes a steel cable that ensures firm ankle support and lateral stability, while the Flex Collar allows for greater rearward movement of the ankle, enhancing comfort during descents. Additionally, you can choose between different insoles with the customizable SALEWA® Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) to adjust the shoe volume to your needs. The climbing shoe lacing system also allows for individual tightening down to the toes for better performance on technical terrain. The optimized Vibram® Alpine Hiking outsole, available exclusively from SALEWA®, enhances performance and control on a variety of mountain terrains. Its specialized climbing, grip, and braking zones, along with the aggressive stud design, perform exceptionally well even in wet and muddy conditions.
