The Salewa MTN Trainer Mid GTX Female in Black Blue is a lightweight summer alpine trekking boot designed for women who need reliable footwear on mixed and technical terrain. Constructed with a robust combination of suede leather and fabric, these mid-height boots incorporate a GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort lining to provide waterproof yet breathable protection.

How to use

Choose the correct size and fit before heading out; try boots with the socks you plan to wear while trekking. Lace up securely to engage the 3F System and ensure even support across the heel and forefoot. Use the Flex Collar to allow natural ankle movement during descents while keeping the lower leg supported on ascents. For wet conditions, rely on the GORE-TEX® lining to keep feet dry while allowing perspiration to escape. Replace the OrthoLite footbed or add a custom insole if specific orthotic support is required.

Usage recommendations

Break the boots in with short walks before undertaking long or technical routes. Clean off dirt and debris after use and treat the suede leather with a suitable protector to maintain water repellency without blocking the membrane. Dry boots at room temperature away from direct heat and re-lace them while damp to retain the original shape. For extended alpine treks, pair with grippy trekking socks and consider gaiters on scree or snowy approaches.
