Crafted for demanding alpine terrain, the Salewa Alp Trainer 2 combines time-tested materials with modern mountain footwear technology. This low-cut hiking and trekking shoe is built to take on everything from Dolomite limestone to muddy forest trails, offering long-lasting comfort, reliable grip, and robust protection.

Built to Last. Ready for Rock and Rubble.

• Durable Suede Leather Upper: Constructed with thick 1.4–1.6 mm suede, the upper offers a soft-yet-tough barrier against trail hazards.

• Full 360° Rubber Rand: Reinforces the shoe’s lower profile with complete perimeter protection—ideal for navigating sharp scree fields, rocky approaches, and off-trail terrain.

• Flex Collar: Adds ankle mobility for better comfort during descents and uneven movement.

Superior Grip in All Mountain Conditions

• Vibram® Alpine Hiking Outsole: Exclusive to Salewa, this high-performance outsole is designed for versatile traction. It features:

  • Climbing Zone at the toe for precision on rocky sections

  • Traction & Braking Zones for confident movement on steep grades and slippery slopes

  • Aggressive Lug Pattern that holds firm on loose gravel, mud, and wet slabs

Dialed-In Fit & Stability

• 3F System with Steel Cables: An innovative structural support design that connects the heel, instep, and sole to offer a secure, glove-like fit. The integrated steel cables provide added lateral stability and ankle hold—critical for navigating uneven ground.

• Climbing Lacing System: Extends further toward the toe than standard lacing systems, allowing precise adjustment for technical terrain or customized comfort.

Trail Comfort That Lasts All Day

• EVA Midsole: Offers lightweight shock absorption for high-mileage days without adding bulk.

• Salewa Footbed: Designed to contour to the foot’s natural shape and provide cushioning from trailhead to summit.
