Salewa Men's Camping and Hiking Shoes

The SALEWA Wildfire Edge GTX is a versatile technical shoe that can switch from a hiking shoe to a climbing shoe, allowing your adventure to continue even in wet weather. The shoe features a 1.6mm suede leather and microfiber upper with Exa Shell over an injected 3D cage for excellent flexibility. The Salewa Switch system enables you to tighten the laces at the rear eyelet and then lace them up, pulling your foot forward into the toebox, similar to a climbing shoe. Once climbing is finished, you can loosen the laces to return to a wider toebox and more hiking comfort.

The waterproof GORE-TEX lining provides better breathability and keeps out wet elements, while the 3F System offers firm ankle and heel support. The Wildfire Edge Mid GORE-TEX is designed for alpinists, climbers and scramblers who want an approach shoe with enhanced climbing performance. The Switchfit system allows for a quick adaptation of the fit from hiking to climbing, with compression at the toes.

The insole 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 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, with the Exa Shell providing enhanced torsional stability and working together with the 3F System to wrap the foot for better flexibility, fit and support. The GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining is durably waterproof and breathable, keeping precipitation and groundwater out while allowing perspiration to escape. A stretch gaiter provides greater protection against snow, scree and trail debris.

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.
