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

Product Information

I would highly recommend these boots for anyone looking for a pair of light summer weight boots though.

The Rapace GTX from Salewa is a versatile, lightweight and comfortable crampon-compatible boot, ideal for weight-conscious mountain hikers and via ferratas mountaineering Does this mean that this Salewa Rapace Men’s Walking Boot is highly recommendable for keen hikers and climbers? Overall, they have a roomy toe box, without being too wide, and they fit securely around the ankle with a nicely close-fitting heel cup. The fit would suit most people, unless you have very wide and high-volume feet. But remember, you can adjust the MMF footbed to fine tune the fit.In New Zealand, the boot is pitched at the 3-4 season off-trail market, including transalpine travel and lightweight summer mountaineering.

There are references to hiking and climbing in the specification and lots of high-end features to help wearers get the best experience possible.

It has a suede leather and nylon upper, with a Gore-Tex lining and a full rubber rand, which I love. However, there are also claims that you can use these shoes with hybrid crampons. There is an appreciation for the rubber caps for added protection and users have no problems walking through mud and puddles. So far so good on fit. The footbed construction is firm but not rigid, and the vibram sole provides very good traction. These fit my foot... I tend to need at least a medium width boot, with a snug heel and roomy toebox. In these the footbed and insert option plus flexibility in lacing (from toe to top) allows lots of adjustability. I prefer to replace factory footbed inserts with Superfeet for the best the arch and heel support.
