Salewa Wildfire Edge Approach Shoe - Men's

The Salewa Wildfire Edge is a technical approach shoe that can be easily converted from hiking mode to climbing mode. Designed in collaboration with mountain guides and top climbers in the Dolomites, the Salewa Switchfit system is a simple yet ingenious solution. To switch modes, simply tighten the laces at the rear eyelet, which pulls your foot forward into the toebox, compressing your toes like a climbing shoe. Conversely, loosening the laces at the rear eyelet provides a roomier toebox and greater hiking comfort.

To further enhance climbing precision, the Wildfire Edge's insole incorporates an Edging Plate right under the toes, providing additional, directional stiffness, while the rest of the insole remains flexible to ensure good comfort and a natural rolling motion. The Pomoca Speed MTN sole, made from Butilic Compound, offers enhanced grip and friction in both dry and wet conditions. The sole features a precision climbing zone at the toe, good edging performance, and aggressive lugs for improved traction on mud and soft terrain.

To ensure torsional stability, the Exa Shell works together with the 3F System to wrap the foot for flexibility, fit, and support. The Climbing Lacing extends right to the toe, allowing for a more precise fit and greater adjustment. The Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) uses interchangeable layers, enabling the user to adapt it to the unique shape of their foot, supporting SALEWA's trademark Alpine Fit 100% blister-free guarantee.

The Wildfire Edge is a versatile approach shoe that seamlessly transitions from hiking to climbing, thanks to its innovative Switchfit system and a range of technical features. Designed in collaboration with experienced mountain professionals, this shoe offers exceptional performance and comfort for those who demand the best from their outdoor footwear.
