There’s a Salewa shoe for every adventure

Salewa makes footwear for all types of walk - from coast to mountain.

The Italian footwear manufacturer is known for making technical shoes that are light, yet durable and across a range of end uses.

Salewa is based in the Dolomites, in north-eastern Italy and has a proven pedigree of making reliable, strong and light footwear designed specifically for mountaineering, trekking, speed hiking, and technical approaches.

Boots and shoes are designed for comfort, stability, grip and durability. Over the years, Salewa has introduced a number of innovative technologies including its 100 per cent blister-free fit and its trademark 3F system for flexibility and support.

No matter where your walks take you, Salewa makes your perfect footwear.

Alpine Trekking

Shoes and boots in the Alpine Trekking category can cover day trips to multi-day epics. They’re designed to provide extra flexibility and increased comfort over mixed and technical terrain where solid yet forgiving walkability is paramount.

Featured boot: Mountain Trainer Mid GTX $499.90

This lightweight alpine trekking boot is designed to provide extra flexibility and all-day comfort on multi-day trips. It has a robust suede leather and fabric upper, Gore-Tex membrane, and a foot-cradling dual-density TPU midsole. At the ankle, the Flex Collar allows natural movement even when carrying a heavy pack.

 

Alpine Mountaineering

Featuring a collection of three and four-season boots built for technical precision, lightweight protection, insulated performance and best fit for long summer days to cold and wet conditions.

Featured boot: Rapace GTX $579.90

A lightweight mountaineering boot that marries a hard-wearing nubuck and fabric upper with Gore-Tex protection. It features the 3F System, improved rear ankle mobility – thanks to the Flex Collar – and a Vibram WTC outsole with an aggressive tread pattern. It’s stiff enough for use with semi-automatic crampons.

 

Speed Hiking

When you want to move fast and light over technical and rocky terrain, a pair of Salewa’s mid-cut speed hikers will provide the necessary support and protection that won’t slow you down.

Featured boot: Alpenrose 2 Mid GTX $399.90

This dedicated women’s shoe provides waterproof, breathable protection for speed hiking. It has a lightweight and robust mesh fabric upper, Gore-Tex membrane, Salewa’s 3F System and a Pomoca outsole designed to promote natural roll-off and superior traction.

 

Alpine Life

The Alpine Life collection has a more casual appearance, but still features many technical attributes to ensure grip and security on travel adventures.

 

Featured shoe: Wildfire Canvas $279.90

This low-cut shoe represents Salewa’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing and is at home from city streets to light hiking and easy climbing. The breathable recycled cotton and hemp canvas upper is protected by a full 360° rand. Salewa’s 3F system and Pomoca outsole provides secure fit and grip.
