Salewa Ms Rapace Gore-tex mens Trekking & hiking boots

Initially I was a bit worried about reading some reviews online to say it's quite a narrow fit. I don't really have narrow feet and I've tried both the 'medium fit' and 'narrow fit' insoles that come with the boots (note: the 'medium fit' ones come already imbedded in the boots) - and they both fit my feet absolutely fine. My record with getting blisters with any hiking boots or running trainers etc is terrible. I really struggle with them however I took these pair of boots for their first test along a Hadrian's Wall walk (a bit overkill I know - but just to try them out) - and I didn't get any blisters. They are very comfortable, snug and secure and gave me no discomfort straight out of the box. No breaking in required. I particularly like the rubber-like protection going around the lower part of the uppers - it'll be ideal when I go to the Lake District. I also like the way the laces work in tangent with the '3F system' to really secure your ankle. I also like how the boots are compatible with semi-automatic crampons for when I feel ready to experience this. The grip underfoot is excellent. The boots straight out of the box feel like they've been built to last - very high quality and with premium materials. The boots of course look so cool - especially with the other colours that I wear. I will say that I was slightly annoyed with actually getting the right boots via ordering here as originally I was sent a size 11.5 - NOT the size 11 I actually ordered. This was easily resolvable but felt like such a silly error to make. Overall, highly recommended for anyone hiking on any terrain in the UK I'd say and a good starting pair of boots to get into winter mountaineering. Unless you regularly have problems with your feet being too wide for footwear, these should be absolutely fine.

Good quality. Hard and stiff soles. I like the way they look too !

C'est la 6 ème voir même là 7ème que j'ai ! pour moi c'est ma chaussure idéal, j'ai aussi des Mammut mais je ne suis pas aussi bien dedans et des Lowa (que j'aime pas) et j'aime beaucoup mieux marcher avec mes Ms Rapace J'ai aussi trois autre paire de Savéva basse Mountain Trainer 2 et une Mountain Trainer Lite pour les sorties moins accidentées la Lite souffre trop dans les pierriers les Alpine Extrêm là sont top Comme dit le dicton : quand on trouve chaussure à son pied on les gardes Dommage que l'on puisse plus ressemeler J'ai essayer une fois...mais le reste de la chaussure à trop vieilli ...au niveau des coutures Et sur les nouveau modèles on peut mettre des crampons semi automatique

Le scarpe sono decisamente rigide e soprattutto nelle prime uscite si potrebbe pagare cara questa rigidità con qualche bolla, soprattutto se non strette a sufficienza. Le scarpe hanno ottimo grip su pietraia, campi solcati e roccia in generale, in cui il fatto di avere una suola rigida permette di ripartire il carico applicato alla punta su tutta la suola. Perfette per ferrate. Da notare come in qualche utilizzo su roccia alcuni tacchetti della suola siano stati completamente strappati, causa morbidezza della mescola. La scarpa è comoda, calda ma non esageratamente, tanto da poter esser usata tranquillamente in estate in Sardegna grazie alla ottima traspirabilità.

Unas botas casi perfectas. Resistentes, duras, con buen agarre y suela a prueba de pistas de granito y piedras. La comodidad se sacrifica en aras a la resistencia, pero yo he hecho jornadas de 18 horas sin mayor problema. Pero adolecen de una pega. Tienen una costura en el talón que puede provocar ampolla en los primeros usos, algo que una bota de su calidad y precio no debería producir. Yo lo solucioné poniendo una pequeña alza.
