The Alp Trainer 2 Gore-Tex is a low-cut alpine hiking and trekking shoe built for increased comfort during rugged alpine use on long mountain days. Designed to offer solid protection, the robust leather upper is made from high-quality suede and backed with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane and a full 360 rubber rand for additional rock and scree-resistant protection. The proprietary, trademarked 3F System enables a precise, supportive and wrapping fit. Its steel cable ensures firm ankle support and lateral stability, while the Climbing Lacing allows adjustment right down to the toe for better performance on rock. The EVA midsole provides superior cushioning and excellent comfort for a technical shoe. Underfoot, the Vibram Alpine Hiking outsole, which is exclusive to SALEWA, provides enhanced performance and control in a wide range of mountain terrain and also excels in wet and muddy conditions thanks to its dedicated climbing, traction and braking zones and aggressive lug pattern. The Alp Trainer 2 Gore-Tex is a lightweight, highly comfortable shoe, designed for step-in comfort right out of the box.
