Salewa Wildfire NXT Mid GTX

Salewa

What a funky shoe. But in a really good way! Its sleek Matryx high-tenacity upper delivers a more slipper-like a fit than you’d possibly expect in a boot, but you still get a surprising amount of lateral support because of a signature Salewa system that locks your heel securely in place as you pull the laces tight. The boot is really lightweight compared to traditional hiking boots but still incorporates a protective GORE-TEX waterproof lining and a premium Vibram All-Terrain outsole that uses a MegaGrip compound to guarantee confident traction.
