The Salewa M MTN Trainer Lite GTX is a lightweight, surefooted and comfortable men’s low-cut, 3-season shoe for alpine approaches, hikes and treks with a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex membrane.
The lightweight version of the classic Salewa MTN Trainer has a robust fabric upper to ensure good wear resistance, while the waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex Extended Comfort lining will keep you dry and comfortable, whatever adventure you’re planning. The unique construction is made over a special last designed to ensure a good fit and the optimal combination of flex and support. This shoe is also engineered with Salewa's proprietary 3F system that connects the instep, sole and heel. Inside the shoe is a shock-absorbing EVA midsole for long-lasting rebound and there is a flexible ankle cuff and rubber toe cap for additional protection.
Underfoot, the durable outsole guarantees reliable grip thanks to the Pomoca compound rubber and tread pattern with deep lugs and grooves. It has the versatility to cope with a wide range of terrain from mud and grass to rock, ice and snow. The climbing lacing allows you to fine-tune right down to the toe for greater precision in technical rocky terrain. Designed in Italy, according to traditional shoemaking expertise, the men’s MTN Trainer Lite is a lighter, 3-season solution for hiking, and faster-paced treks that makes no compromises on water resistance.

Bought these shoes having had good experience with the Salewa brand previously. That has proved the wrong decision however as the shoes bought in November 2022 are now splitting at various points.
Poor quality. From new, lace eyelets fell out. Heel of sole came off replacement after 12 months light use on easy terrain. Could never use these on the hill/in the mountains! Won't buy Salewa again!
Not built to last
