If you’re anything like me, you may have a love/hate relationship with hiking boots.
Once they’re broken in, a good pair of hikers will be like a best friend—comfortable, supportive, and ready for adventure. But getting to that perfectly-worn place can sometimes mean a lot of blisters, compressed toes, and general pain in the arches and heels.
It took checking out Salewa’s Mtn Trainer Lite GTX boots for me to realize that a new pair of hiking boots doesn’t have to be a promise of torture for your feet. Because of the attention to detail that Salewa puts into every step of design for these boots—choosing the right materials for each part of the sole and uppers, and linking everything together for an ergonomic and responsive fit—they’re comfortable and supportive straight out of the box.
So when it’s time for a new pair of hiking boots and you don’t want to endure the weeks of break in time, grab a pair of these Mtn Trainers from Salewa instead.
