Salewa Wildfire Leather 2 GTX zapatillas de aproximación para mujer - Etruskisch Rot/Schwarz - EU 42

On a crisp morning in the Dolomites, a climber laces up her Salewa Wildfire Leather 2 GTX and heads toward a vertical limestone wall. The approach trail is loose and steep, but the Pomoca Speed MTN outsole bites into rock, while the GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining keeps her feet dry from dew and light rain. The climbing lacing system lets her fine-tune the fit for precision edging, and the Salewa 3F support wraps her heel securely for confident heel hooks. This women's approach shoe is built for technical terrain, alpine scrambles, and long hikes in variable weather.
