I wanted to love this boot. And if it fit I'm sure I would have. Great design, style, light weight. But I had to send it back because it's heel cup was huge. So if you have a wide heel, this should be a great boot for you. If not, try another boot.

Salem’s Mtn Trainer Lite
Great shoe! Nice footbed and good perimeter support. Easy to get into and out of. Size is spot-on. They’re dry. I use them for light hiking and street-use as well. lol They look good!

Salewa
These are my 2nd pair of Salewa’s! My other pair are half size smaller and these I ordered the same. Had to exchange them for my normal size. Only issue with these they still slip off of the heal slightly after reordering them a half size smaller. Great looking shoe! Very comfortable and supportive shoe!

Mixed Reviews
I am a Salomon user. When the X Ultra 3 failed for me twice (the second pair I returned) I looked for an alternative. I went with Salewa after seeing their booth years ago at Mountains Crossing. I went with the MTN Trainer to keep the price line about the same. I have put a lot of trail miles on these since March, so I felt I can give them an honest review. At first, I realized that they would need to be broken in and it was tricky getting the fit to wrap around the heels without slipping. The laces quickly started showing their inner core through the sleeve where the knot was being tied. The hiking continued and they felt solid under my feet with great traction. Once broken in I was able to tighten the laces more for those downhills. I also wear the MTN Trainers to work, and they squeak on the polished concrete floors. Must be the traction? They are performing well as day hikers, and the Gore-Tex is doing its job, but they stink. I mean they really do stink, like my son's soccer shoes did. I have never owned a pair of shoes that stink like these. I think an upgrade to the Wildfire would help with the heel issue, but what will they smell like. BTW the Achilles padding is showing wear as well.

Super Comfy, Lite Weight, Breathable & Waterproof
Picked these up for summer hiking and disc golf- to replace my all leather, waterproof boots. Couldn’t be happier- great fit, traction and feet weren’t soaked after walking a ton on a really hot day. Looking forward to more rounds in them- and first time wearing them for disc golf- and I got my first ever ace! Coincidence???
