Why We Like The Mountain Trainer GTX Hiking Shoe
The Salewa Men's Mountain Trainer GTX Hiking Shoe lives for ridgeline scrambles and fast ascents up exposed routes. Taking all the burly ingredients of Salewa's mountaineering boots and implementing them in a low-top hiking shoe, the Mountain Trainer delivers all the rigidity and support you'd expect from an alpine boot but in a more nimble design.

Not changed for the better for me

I have an older pair of Mountain Trainers that aren’t waterproof and that can be finicky to get my heels locked in. I decided to give these a try, hoping that the fit would be the same or better. Nope! The heel counter is even shallower, not even coming close to going over the curve of my heel, and I don’t know WHAT the funky tongue is all about. There’s barely enough lace to tie. Overall the shoe feels slightly lower volume, just not what I need. Looks like I’ll be using my older pair for another year. 3 stars because they ARE good shoes, just apparently meant for people with 4 toes.

The items runs a bit small. I typically wear a size 12 in virtually all of my footwear and this one is closer to 1/2 size up. Product looked decent but unsure how I like the tongue, feels like it doesn't pull up as far as others. Returned due to lack of size 12.5 and customer svc was solid as usual.

Don’t take out shoelace.

I planned to put lock laces in the shoes like I did with my old pair, but the lock laces were to thick. I had a frustrating experience putting the original laces back with tweezers. The longevity of the shoe seems to be limited to the strength of the laces.

It looks like Salewa did a slight redesign of the shoe, can you tell me if the heel counter is still very shallow like with the older model? I love mine for the traction, support, and comfort, but I had to add a set of eyelets like those on the Wildfire Edge and it’s still very difficult to get my heel locked in without crushing my toes as well (but so worth it on the trail.) Thanks. Phil S.
