Designed in Montebelluna, the epitome of alpine footwear craftsmanship, the Salewa Mountain Trainer 2 is a hard, durable and versatile low-cut alpine approach shoe. Offering a high-quality 1.6mm suede leather upper and outsole for impeccable durability, the Mountain Trainer 2 will last an absolute lifetime.
The robust upper also has a full protective rubber rand for 360° abrasion resistance in rocky terrain and foot jams, plus a fast-drying GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining for durable waterproofing and optimized breathability. Featuring a protective stretch gaiter under the laces to keep rain and groundwater out, the Mountain Trainer 2 has your comfort and support at the forefront of its design.
The improved last construction is 15% lighter and more flexible than the original Mountain Trainer and ensures a comfortable fit, while the expanded PUT midsole provides long-lasting absorbency and rebound. The multifunctional Vibram outsole gives agility and stability in rugged terrain. Its deep, self-cleaning grooves and aggressive lugs guarantee good grip on rock and scree and optimal traction on mud and grass.
Under the midfoot, a special via ferrata tread zone has incredibly specific right-angled lugs that maximise the force applied through the foot for better grip on the rungs of iron ladders than a conventional shoe.
The Salewa signature 3F system connects the instep area with the sole and heel for flexibility, correct fit and support. A cushioning Ortholite footbed wicks away moisture, and keeps your feet both cool and comfortable. The climbing lacing can also be fine-tuned at the toe for greater precision and support in technical terrain.
Great For: Mixed Mountain terrain, mud/grass, rocky/technical path, snow/ice

Surprisingly good waterproofing for this kind of walking trainer. Of course though with trainers this low it's very easy for water to come in over the top of the shoe, so definitely not the right shoe for walking through long wet grass. Sizing is a little narrow - although length is good the width is smaller than normal, meaning one of the shoes is tight on my little toe and after extended use this can get quite sore (though this is getting better with more use/break-in). Perfect for dry rocky/stoney terrain/scrambles with low puddles etc.

Great shoes. Handled the terrain in Wales with ease and kept the worst of the weather out.
