SalewaMen's Rapace GTX-m High Rise Hiking Boots

Vestibilità perfetta. Sono un 42,5 di Mizuno e di tante altre scarpe. Qui ho preso anche un 42,5 e sono perfette, così perfette che anche in discesa correndo le dita non toccavano la punta, proprio come le mie scarpe da corsa.Ricevute nel cartone originale ed in perfetto stato.Scarpa rigida e questa caratteristica offre una grande sensibilità e comunicazione con il terreno. Ci si sente sicuri, il piede è molto fasciato e ciononostante tutto il piede gode di un grandissimo comfort. La scarpa non è pesante nonostante la sua robustezza e la suola in vibram, la quale non ti fa sentire i sassi sotto la pianta del piede. Fascia il giusto le caviglie. La scarpa mi ha permesso di correre 2km in leggera discesa al tempo di 5 minuti/km.Incredibile!I lacci sono robusti, resistenti, lunghi il giusto e allacciare gli scarponi è un piacere perché ci si mette un attimo e si trova facilmente la forza corretta per stringere il giusto.Le rifiniture sono di alta qualità, tutta la scarpa è perfetta. I colori sono belli e pastellati. È bella da vedere ai propri piedi.La scorsa settimana le ho usate con calzini tecnici di media qualità per 2 ore a -12°C con vento e sulla neve. Piedi anche in questo caso sempre a temperatura giusta. Termoregolazione che funziona davvero bene.IMPERMEABILITÀ?5 ore fa ho fatto una camminata di quasi 12km, 550mt di dislivello e di circa 2:55 ore sotto la neve che cadeva, e con la neve che per il 70% del percorso era quasi all' altezza del ginocchio. Sono arrivato alla macchina e quando ho tirato fuori il piede dalla scarpa, il calzino era appena umido nella zona superiore del collo del piede. Non male dopo 3 ore con i piedi caldi e immersi nella neve!La mia compagna ha preso lo stesso modello da donna, e non credeva che passando da scarpe da 90€ a queste avrebbe sentito tutta questa differenza soprattutto in termini di impermeabilità, rilassatezza del piede dopo lo sport e leggerezza.Spero di avervi aiutato con questa recensione a valutare meglio il vostro prossimo acquisto👍

So, i am usually a Mammut kind of guy but thought I would try another brand. I consider myself as an "intermediate" Hiker/climber so this review will be based from my activity.So, out of the box i completed a fairly technical 15.5 mile hike up and down cliff edges and coastal paths (a section of South West coast path) to break them in and i can say overall i am pleased with this boot, but there are some drawbacks to them. I will start with the positives, the boot looks purposeful, is very waterproof and warm (torrential rain and 40mph headwind for most of the hike) and the boots held up well and best of all NO BLISTERS! The boot is relatively comfortable too initially. The stiff sole helped on the steep climbs and descents and the lacing system held my feet in place. I take a 10.5 but bought an 11 and had plenty of room available.So, the bad bits: The boot feels a little heavy and is very stiff but, but i am still breaking them in. The sole feels like you are walking with boards under your feet and as a result the underside of my feet felt tender and a little bruised the day after. The boot had little to no grip across wet rocks and found myself slipping a fair bit. The lacing system is brilliant, but fiddly, when putting the boots on you catch the laces in the wrong eyelets which was frustrating.I will try and remember to update my review after a few more hikes, hopefully drier conditions but overall i am pleased with the boot and will try some inserts to ease up the feel of bruising. I would recommend if you do a mixture of technical mountains and occasional sunday stroll, but if you are a sunday stroll walker i would not recommend these for you. I feel my crampons will work well with these boots also for the alpine climbs.

Da ich mit Salewa bisher ausschließlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht habe und meine alten Wanderschuhe sich dem Ende zuneigten, habe ich mir den Mountain Trainer Anfang des Jahres geholt. Nach 220km durch Irland mit 15kg Gepäck kann ich nun sagen, dass der Schuh für mich die perfekte Wahl ist.Trotz relativ kurzem Einlaufen (20-30km) war ich auf dieser Tour der Einzige, der komplett blasenfrei geblieben ist trotz teilweise unwegsamen Gelände sowie nassen, tiefem Boden. Das ist der zweite positive Aspekt des Schuhs: Meine Füße blieben komplett trocken, egal ob der Schuh mal komplett im Morast versank, man einen Bach überquerte oder es schlichtweg den ganzen Tag geregnet hat. Der Schuh weist nach der Tour selbst an der Sohle kaum Gebrauchsspuren auf.Der Tragekomfort ist ebenfalls eine Nummer für sich. Man hat zu jeder Zeit perfekten Halt, rutscht nicht im Schuh herum und die Füße meckern selbst nach 35km mit Gepäck nur bedingt. Einzig die Schnürsenkel wollen ohne vernünftigen Doppelknoten nicht so recht halten und bei längeren Asphaltstrecken meldet sich etwas der Fußballen, aber da ging es meinen Kollegen mit Meindl, Lowa etc... auch nicht anders.Ein Schuh, mit dem ich vollends zufrieden bin und den ich mittlerweile (der Part überrascht mich selbst) jedem Meindl Schuh vorziehen würde.

Fits well for half a size bigger than usual, but that's standard on most boots. The bottom is rock solid, I gave heared moaning about that on reviews but I for one see it as a good thing considering you don't feel sharp rock edges dig in the bottom, and they provide spider man type grip, I have never experienced grip like it to be honest, wet rocks are like sand paper to these. Comfort, well if you want a hard boot that in my opinion is geared more towards scrambling (but still suitable for long walks) then hard bottoms are the price you pay, but that doesn't make them uncomfortable, they just don't have much bend in them, but they have only been worn once for a 15km hike. They were put through their paces though, weather was crap, I through every terrain at them, even got them covered in knee high mud too, gutted as they were brand new but that's what testing them is all about, a few puddles later they looked brand new again. Not very warm, so wear thicker socks, problem solved, they are boots not gloves lol. Honestly love them and can see these being in my life a long time

Great, universal pair of walking / hiking boots with some finish quality flaws.+ The fit and size is very good (size UK7)+ 3F system for better ancle support+ Great lacing system+ Vibram soles+ 1-day delivery through Amazon Prime+ Easy replacement procedure with Amazon, new pair that should arrive within next working day- The boots were poorly finished inside (images attached) (the finish quality is much poorer than my girlfriend's £30 Karrimor boots)- The 'MULTI FIT FOOTBED' (MFF) boot insoles weren't included in the box, despite are presented on the images for this listingUpdated 29/11/2019I increased my score from 3 to 4 stars for quick reply I received from Salewa - they replaced now MFF with Ortholite insole; also you can extend the warranty to 3 years through online registration.However, I had to send 2nd pair back as the internal finish of the boot is still disappointing, comparing with other top boot manufacturers; replacement pair was also very narrow.End of story, goodbye Salewa.
