## Description

Hiking trainers Man SALEWA MS WILDFIRE 00-0000063485

Review: Excellent in the desert, breathable, great comfort offroad - go half a size up - This is my first pair of Salewa shoes which I decided after lots of research. I wore Salomon for 10 years, then Merrell the past year and a half. I really like Salomon trail running shoes as day hiking shoes, and the Merrell's I had were good, but never loved them, too stiff and a little clunky. My criteria for shoes this time was one that would be good for the high desert I am often in here in New Mexico as a rural land photographer. The priority was breathability, as the Merrell's had a Goretex waterproof lining, not needed for the desert. Then I wanted good protection from cactus spines and similar. I needed to shoe to be light as well. This brought me to looking for an approach shoe. Salewa appealed to me from a breathability standpoint with its all mesh upper, but ballistic mesh so it would be strong enough in the desert to resist spines and rocks. Loved the styling of the blue as well. The issue then was what size. I wear size 11 universally. After reading the few reviews for this shoe in particular and Salewa in general, including the similar Vent model, I decided to go a half size up. For my universal otherwise size 11 shoe foot, the 11.5 Salewa fit perfectly. They have met all my needs, as my feet sweat less in the desert, they have held up to cactus spines and rocks, and they are very light. The surprise was how comfortable they were on trail, possibly the best shoes for that I have ever owned. I would not wear these as daily shoes on pavement. I wear them specifically for when I will be in the desert, on trail, etc. These are a specialty shoe and for the price, should be kept for that use only, not wearing the lugs down on pavement anyway. I am now a Salewa loyalist for hiking shoes! They won me over from the very first step!
Review: Good shoes - Because of my weird feet (feet are weird. Everyone's feet are weird.) I prefer to wear shoes that have laces to the toe...that way I can make them comfortable. These have one of the roomiest toe boxes I have found, but cannot be laced very tight at the toe. They are a tad loose on my foot, especially at the heel, but even with the not-perfect fit, they are more comfortable than the last 3 pairs of shoes I've had (Scarpa, Evolv, and Haglofs) after a long day on my feet. The sole makes my walk a bit exaggerated, but don't seem to be causing any pain or strange wear on the sole. My second-favorite pair of shoes in the past 12 years. Well worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great comfortable shoe!
*by D***K on June 17, 2021*

Great shoe! Had a few pairs of approach shoes and this one is killing it. Comfortable, glove-like feel right from the start. The lacing system allows you to really tailor the fit perfectly to any foot width. Has this unique sticky sole that allows you to handle slippery surfaces and mud just great. The shoe is actually much more right than it seems in the pictures as it has these rubber textures closer to the sole where rocks cause friction and normal running shoes for trails would rip. Love them.
