Salewa mens Ms Wildfire Edge Mid Gtx

So these are my go to every day boots. I’ve had the boots already for about a month and a half, and I will say this to you when it comes to waterproof skid resistant sea on a roof or wet surface it has held up well! I love the Velcro at the top, and the tread underneath is high quality My only negative is the insoles*** quickly wore down for me after a WEEK, I do a lot of walking, sometimes jogging around the house, but this is a simple fix other than that they have worked well for me. If you’re someone who doesn’t constantly expose them selves to the elements, these will last. I will do a follow up review at the end of June. ** Well it’s not the end of June just yet in the boots are holding strong. I had to get some other insoles and after that it’s like a premium, feel all together! Walked my dog through puddles not a drip on my socks, jumped on the roofs off of a ladder great grip, no slip. These are worth a dollar don’t second-guess stop scrolling buy try leave your own review well worth it. I will be back for another pair. Hopefully they go on sale.

These are amazing! Best fitting, most comfortable boots I have ever owned. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and must say, I couldn't be happier. Build Quality is amazing, super light and damn good looking. I ordered the same size I would wear in any shoe and they fit perfectly. I wear an 11.5 in NB, Nike, etc. Despite many reviewers claiming they are hard to get off, I would disagree. I am a larger male 6'0, 235lbs. I don't have skinny legs and ankles and can slip these on and off as I would any other boot I have ever owned. Of course, you can't compare the ease to a tennis shoe, but it is a boot. The fit is tight all around the foot. I would maybe caution someone with very wide feet as these are pretty snug across the width. They may stretch over time, we will see. I like a snug fit, so no complaints here. They do come with a set of insole inserts that you can choose to insert if you need to raise your foot higher in the arch direction for a tighter fit. I did not have to use these. All in all, these are badass. I work an office job with walking and enjoy outdoor hiking and walking. These feel very good in both environments. They hold up well in the snow and keep your feet warm and dry with a standard cotton sock. If you want to wear a thicker sock or prefer wool options, may want to order half size larger. HOpe this helps people with their decision!

PROS: An excellent boot -- should be a contender for any through-hiker / trekker looking to cut weight. Fits well, and given the lacing system can be adjusted as needed. It is in fact WATERPROOF and BREATHABLE. Whaaaaat? Unheard of ... moderately thick sole with great traction, good ankle support. I am 6'3" and 210 lbs -- so light weight boots generally do not work so well for me -- as they often do not provide sufficient ankle support and/or protection for the soles of my feet. This is a MUCH better boot than most -- for carrying up to 20-25 lbs of weight, touring, trekking as well as moderate off trail activities. CONS: Does not provide much protection for your upper feet in mixed terrain. The boot sole thickness and the ankle support are insufficient for me to use them for heavy packing. Three season only. But SALEWA did not advertise the boots as such ... so no complaints. SUMMARY: light weight, water proof, breathable, great fitting -- not sure what else you could ask for in this type of boot. Buy it, or get stuck with M*rrils, and any of the other over priced poorly designed "boots." Your call ...

...You should know they are Really, Really hard to put on and take off. And that's a good thing in that they fit like a glove, conform to your feet, and that is what gives the support without weight, they are very comfortable in doing that. So, to achieve what I was after (closed to keep scree and debris out on steep climbs) they must fit close and snug. They also have sharp sole tread for grip. Perfect for my needs. Their streamline surface will not hangup in vines and grass. As others have mentioned, they run small. I went up a half size and that came in just right with light weight socks. Hopefully the comfort level won't require thicker socks. Update: Back to five stars. After two extended hike-climbs, I'm in love with these. They now accept medium weight socks (warmer). The tread grips better than anything I have had over the years. Do I recommend them? Yes, for special use, not for everyday use (due to the ordeal getting them on. Off is not bad). They are more like ballet toe slippers, worth the prep for the performance. Not sure what the vibrant green eye(lets) are about. Intended to attract or repel rattlesnakes? Might paint them black.

I've now had two pair of these boots. The first, seemed to have a small manufacturing defect which caused some of the pull loop to protrude into the inner boot at the back of the ankle. It took about two months of blisters to get that worn in. They became my favorite boots after the rough break-in period. The boots were quite waterproof, at least until I dropped molten brass on them... (** Side note, don't expect these to just pull off your feet) I ordered a second pair and found them to be much more comfortable right out of the box. I have about 20 miles on this new pair and no blisters or complaints so far. I have yet to submerge the second pair, however, I feel like they are likely to be just as waterproof as the first. (Barring any molten metal incidents, for which they are clearly not cut out.)

First pair of boots that I want to wear year round. I can stand in the OR all day and not experience any back pain. This is my first Salewa purchase and I have become an instant fan. I bought them because I have more clients in colder climates. After months of research, I bought a few pairs of tactical boots that had soles that were appropriate for snow and ice. However, I needed something that was waterproof as well. I also wanted boots that I would not need to take off in the hospital. Fell in love with the aesthetic design from the picture. Bought my first pair and was shocked at the perfect fit out of the box. Wore them all day the next day and bought my second pair that night. Your feet can generate about a 1/2 cup of sweat each day. It is good to give boots a day to dry out even if they did not get wet. It is best to not wear the same boots everyday. Bought a 3rd pair just in case the model is discontinued.

I'm a big fan of the long-running Merrell Chameleon stetch shoes, the combo of hiking tread and ninja sock-like fit is awesome. The upper on these Salewa's promised to take this a step further by combining S's great fit technology with a completely dirt-blocking collar, but (NEWS FLASH!) - they've added a velcro closure to the elastic cuff and now's it's perfect. I still wish they were all-synthetic like my older Firetails- these would make great jungle boots if only they were rot-proof. Really sad about that part. UPDATE: Spent a week summiting 14'ers in the San Juans in Colorado and the technical performance of these boots was nearly perfect for the rocky, sometimes bouldery, sometimes easy rock climbing conditions. Everywhere we went I had the best shoes for the job compared to my companions. An AMGA guide that was with us had the same sole on a pair of Dynafits (same parent company) and agreed they're ideal for this stuff. I also found the support and long-wear comfort to continue to be good, with no pain, no rub points, and no uphill/downhill induced discomfort. I did feel a little crimped on one little toe after a week but it never got sore or rashed, but I would not trade the snug toebox for anything else- it's integral to why these are such great scrambling shoes and have such versatile edging ability. Salewa, please don't change your lasts!

I do not have wide feet. I wear regular shoes and boots. The toe box in this shoe is so small that when I put my weight into them the outside of the boot would move. There was so much pressure on the outside of my foot that it hurt to just stand in them. The other issue I was having is my heal was moving a lot when I walked. I could tell these would lead to blisters if you didn't put band aids on your heal. They are really cool looking boots and I love the lacing system. Yes i tried all different ways to lace them but there just wasn't enough room in them. The material on the inside of the boot is also rough. Buy a size up and wear thick socks. I'm upset that I have to return them. I really wanted these to work for my job. I never made it out of the house. If you have narrow feet and want to wear these in a cold climate they would work for you. I bought them to work security and there is no way I could stand in these all night.
