Salewa Men's Rapace GTX Mountaineering Boot

Bought a bunch of equipment for a recent trip to New Zealand and these were probably the best purchase. They broke in quickly, are extremely durable and completely waterproof. Only time they got wet was when water came in through the top during stream crossings, hardly a design flaw. Tread is good on snow and the boots worked well with semiautomatic crampons. Would definitely recommend.

Super zakup, buty przeszły moje oczekiwania. 3 miesiące polowałem na nie aby kupić w dobrej cenie i w Amazon się udało. polecam i buty i Amazon - tylko dobrze dobierzcie rozmiar mniej więcej 1/2 rozmiaru większe.

I ordered a 42 and got a 43. Blisters guaranteed. I love the boot but wearing something too big would feel like wearing clown shoes. Now i gotta pay to return something that is the seller's error. Nice service.

Salewa rapace has to be the best boot I have ever used. I have been hiking since I was in my mid teens and climbed mount Olympus twice. Plus I was in the Marines. I have never used boots that are so comfortable and required absolutely no break in time like these rapace boots. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for a long time and I have narrow feet with high arches and finding boots that fit well can be a struggle. I took the advice of folks that recommend getting half a size larger than normal. Put on some wool socks and went for a 4 mile hike at Tenaja falls CA with a 30 lbs pack. No break in time, no hot spots. This boots are a light weight mountaineering boot. It’s stiffer than most but still has a bit flex so it’s not uncomfortable. The heel and tread design ensure good grip even in steep and loose ground. The lace system ensures that the boot conforms to the foot ensuring no hot spots or blisters. I’m glad I got them half a size larger. This gives me a bit of room so when I’m going down hill under heavy load my toes don’t hurt. I also like the included extra insoles. The fit with my sock combo make a perfect fit. I know that each person’s feet are different but these are great for me.Update:I used these boots for a three day trip in the Sierra Mountains just a bit lower than 7000 feet of elevation. Wend down and up on some very steep terrain with loose rocks and soil. The boots were awesome. Good grip, support for the ankles enough flex to be comfortable but stiff enough to support going uphill. If they provide waterproof I’ll say they are perfect.

Très satisfaite de ces chaussures, qui sont aussi belles que confortables. J'ai pris une pointure au dessus de ma taille habituelle. Semelles fermes mais très confortables, bon maintien latéral des chevilles. Une paire de semelles supplémentaires est fournie, pour ajuster le confort si besoin. J'utilise ces chaussures pour des randonnées avec mes chiens, dans les dunes et sur les rochers parfois glissants du littoral breton, mais aussi en campagne dans des terrains humides.
