Salewa MS Rapace Gore-TEX, Trekking & hiking boots Men’s

Product Information

So, there isn’t much to lose in giving these well-considered Salewa walking boots a try for your next adventure. There are references to hiking and climbing in the specification and lots of high-end features to help wearers get the best experience possible. Now that your boots are done up properly stand up on your tiptoes and walk on the spot on the balls of your feet as if you are walking up a steep hill. If your heels lift more than approximately 5mm from the footbed you may need to pull the laces tighter, or the boots may just be the wrong shape for you. I would highly recommend these boots for anyone looking for a pair of light summer weight boots though. Multi Fit Footbed (MFF) with interchangeable layers so you can adapt it to the unique shape of your foot

Increasing comfort is Salewa's dual-density Bilight Technology. This technology has been applied to the midsole of the boot to cushion hard impacts (especially during descents) and to provide superior support thanks to the 3D, ergonomically shaped, design which cradles your foot throughout the day. There are also plenty of positive comments about the comfort provided here. Again, there are lots of elements across the Salewa hiking boots that show consideration for the needs of users.

There is an appreciation for the rubber caps for added protection and users have no problems walking through mud and puddles. Unlike most, quite frankly pretty poor footbeds, Salewa's MMF footbed (multi fit footbed) gives you a comfortable and supportive main footbed and enclosed in the box is a second one which can be added to reduce the volume of the boot; this allows you to customise the fit depending on the volume and shape of your foot. The Salewa Rapace GTX Hiking Boots sound like a really tough pair of boots for all kinds of outdoor pursuits. The Salewa Rapace GTX Hiking Boots have a lot of great features to protect wearers during various activities.If you can see this amount of space then you are pretty much on the way to making sure that your boots are the correct size. This space between your toes and the end of the footbed ensures that you will not stub your toes on the inside of the boot when you descend. This can be excruciatingly painful. If you can’t see this amount of space then it’s a good bet that the boots will be too small. Overall, most buyers are happy to wear these long-term and some even find that they become the most-used shoes in their collection. One of the strengths of these trekking shoes is undoubtedly their lightness: with a weight of 1528 g, they guarantee a light stride and do not affect the load that the hiker has to carry, which also means less physical exertion. The leather upper with rubber detailing is sturdy and stable, while the slightly lower shaft compared to many models in the same category can be a pro or a con depending on one's needs and preferences: if, in fact, on the one hand it manages to provide less support, on the other hand it leaves more freedom of movement. Sole Characteristics These shoes tend to live up to their promises of protection for walking and climbing. While they may not be the toughest out there for mountain climbing, they are still pretty reliable with their durable materials and ergonomic fit.

You should now be able to see approximately 2 cm (about an index fingers width) of the footbed poking out in front of your toes.So far so good on fit. The footbed construction is firm but not rigid, and the vibram sole provides very good traction.
