The robust construction of the Salewa Alp Mate Mid WP hiking shoes makes them ideal for hiking, mountain tours, and multi-day hut and trekking trips in the mountains. A rubber toe cap and reinforced heel provide additional comfort when walking in alpine terrain. The precise lacing ensures an optimal fit on the foot. 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 grip even in wet conditions.
