The Salewa Alp Mate Mid WP hiking shoes are ideally suited for hiking, mountain tours, and multi-day hut and trekking trips in the mountains due to their robust construction. A rubber toe cap and reinforced heel provide additional comfort while walking in alpine terrain. The precise lacing ensures an optimal fit of the hiking boots. The upper material is made of durable suede and features mesh inserts. Thanks to the integrated membrane in the upper material, the outdoor shoes are waterproof, while moisture is transported away from the foot through the breathable fabric. A soft EVA foam midsole relieves the feet on long hiking days. The Salewa Alp Mate Mid WP hiking shoes are equipped with the grippy MTN Trainer Lite outsole from Pomoca, ensuring optimal traction even in wet conditions.
