Salewa Wildfire Edge Mid GTX Climbing Shoes - Men's Black/Black 8. The Wildfire Edge Mid GORE-TEX is a unique technical solution for alpinists climbers and scramblers who want an approach shoe with enhanced climbing performance. Its based on the smart and simple Salewa Switchfit system that allows you to quickly adapt the fit from hiking to climbing by offering compression at the toes similar to a climbing shoe. Simply tighten the laces to pull y foot forward into the toebox. Once youve finished climbing return the laces to the original position for a wider toebox and more hiking comfort. To further enhance climbing precision the Wildfire Edges insole also 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 also 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 while the Exa Shell provides enhanced torsional stability and works together with the 3F System to wrap the foot for better flexibility fit and support. Inside the GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining is durably waterproof and breathable so that precipitation and groundwater are kept out but perspiration can easily escape from y feet.
