Walk in, climb with precision and walk out in comfort – in different weather conditions and all in one shoe. The Wildfire Edge Mid GORE-TEX is a unique technical solution for alpinists, climbers and scramblers who want an approach shoe with enhanced climbing performance. It’s based on the smart and simple Salewa Switchfit system that allows you to quickly adapt the fit from hiking to climbing, by offering compression at the toes similar to a climbing shoe. Simply tighten the laces to pull your foot forward into the toebox. Once you’ve finished climbing, return the laces to the original position, for a wider toebox and more hiking comfort. To further enhance climbing precision, the Wildfire Edge’s insole also incorporates an Edging Plate below the side of the foot and big toe – for additional, directional stiffness – while the rest of the insole remains flexible and responsive to ensure good comfort and a natural rolling motion. The 11 mm drop is also ideal for fast mountain approaches or superior grip when traversing. The lightweight, flexible mid-cut upper is made of high-quality 1.6 mm suede leather, while the Exa Shell provides enhanced torsional stability and works together with the 3F System to wrap the foot for better flexibility, fit and support. Inside, the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining is durably waterproof and breathable, so that precipitation and groundwater are kept out, but perspiration can easily escape from your feet. For greater protection against snow, scree and trail debris, there is a stretch gaiter. You can also customize the inside volume, thanks to the MFF+ footbed. Underfoot, the Wildfire Edge Mid GORE-TEX is equipped with the Pomoca Speed MTN Pro sole which uses Pomoca butyl compound rubber for better grip and friction on rock in both dry and wet conditions. The sole has a precision climbing zone at the toe, good edging performance and well-spaced tread blocks for improved traction on soft ground, such as mud and grass.

Good but...
Fantastic overall shoe with one big flaw. Cussioning for upper heel and achilles is non existing and after 20km you can expect blisters. now this could be my experience only but after inspecting inside of this boot i am very dissapointed and i am sure a lot of serious hikers should just avoid buying it. Hope Salewa fix this part of boot as i really like design and everything else with it is just perfect. I did now some 150km in them and i would love to use them for multy day trip but for now i will stick with small mountaineering trips just coz i have them. Again hope Salewa fix this issue

Überragende Wanderstiefel
Ich bin mit den Wanderstiefeln die Tour Mont Blanc gewandert. 170 km, keinerlei Beschwerden. Eine Woche vor dem Start lediglich 5 Km eingelaufen. Die Stiefel sind so leicht und bequem, kann mir keine besseren vorstellen. Der Einstieg ist nicht so heftig wie von vielen beschrieben. Die hintere Lasche erleichtert den Einstieg. Ich habe normalerweise Größe 44, die von mir bestellte Größe in 45,5 sitzt grössentechnisch bestens, insbesondere bei den Abstiegen gibt es kein unangenehmes Drücken der Zehen. Der Halt war jederzeit überragend, ob über Steine, rutschige Bereiche, oder Wurzeln u.a. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Schön, aber schmal...
Schöner Schuh, allerdings für mich leider nicht passend. Habe Schuhgrösse 41-42 und aufgrund der Beschreibungen in 42 bestellt. Der Schuh ist nach meinem Empfinden recht schmal geschnitten, für mich zu schmal. Der Einstieg ist mit dem hohen und engen Elastikbund am Knöchel schwierig.

P E S S I M E
Aggiornamento a meno di un anno dall acquisto.Probabilmente é un problema di progettazione ma le scarpe mi hanno mollato in un momento critico, stavo salendo in cresta e stavo passando per una breve pendenza rocciosa e come indicato dal produttore ho stetto le scarpe per avere più grip nella scalata ma ad un tratto mi accorgo di avere perso grip in punta. Finita la pendenza mi accorgo che il passante del laccio in punta (vedi foto) é saltato dalle scarpe.Sinceramente bella idea questo progetto di salewa di avere una scarpa mid molto versatile ma pessima espletazione che delude sul più bello.Non consigliate.Vecchia recensionePrese senza provarle essendo il mio secondo paio di salewa, estremamente comode e versatili. Usate su neve fresca e neve solida (con quest'ultima consiglio l'utilizzo di catene per avere un grip migliore). Con la giusta calza diventano perfette per l'inverno pur rimanendo traspiranti. Attenzione non sono ramponabili ne semiramponabili.Difficili da mettere vista la particolare forma della caviglia associata alla ghetta interna ma una volta indossate danno sicurezza che non entrerà nulla durante il cammino. Non vedo l'ora di provarla in estate su ferrate per valutare al meglio la mobilità e libertà del piede. Assolutamente consigliate a chi cerca una scarpa poliedrica.Unico aspetto che può parere negativo è la scarsa sensazione di grip sulla caviglia data da un solo giro di lacci ma attenzione avete davanti a voi una scarpa appositamente pensata per essere piu libera di un classico scarpone mid!

Super Passform
Mit den Einlegesohlen kann man den Stiefel individuell anpassen. Sitzt wie angegossen ohne zu wackeln, trotzdem flexibel und bequem. Ich habe 42 bestellt, obwohl ich normalerweise 42,5 oder sogar 43 trage. Habe das zufällig im Internet gelesen. Kann ich nur bestätigen. Halbe bis ganze Größe kleiner bestellen als normal!
