The Walnut Mountain Trainer 2 by Salewa is engineered for versatility, making it one of the most advanced all-around climbing shoes on the market. This shoe strikes an impressive balance between a stiff midsole designed for rock edging and flexibility necessary for comfortable approaches. With a robust suede leather upper complemented by a full protective rand, durability and protection are at the forefront of its design.

One of the standout features of the Mountain Trainer 2 is its innovative to-the-toe lacing system, which not only provides a broad fit range but also ensures a precise climbing fit. The midfoot zone enhances comfort and stability, particularly useful during via ferratas, while a stretch gaiter keeps out unwanted debris and elements. Finally, the Vibram MTN Trainer Evo outsole rounds off this feature-rich shoe, offering excellent grip and performance.

Sturdy

Nice sturdy shoe. I took the first insole out, and really like the way they can move your toe into the toebox once you use the back eyelet. Great for scrambling over rocks.

Salewa shoes run very small

Salewa shoes aren’t well known in the US, I only discovered them recently. I’m very picky about shoes and socks, proper fit is critical. I’ve always worn 10.5 shoes in standard width. I wear trail/approach shoes for work, hiking and leisure. I supinate and this style of shoe supports my ankles properly. I’ve worn various Vasque shoes for 20+ years, mostly the Juxt model. After I discovered Salewa I decided to check them out. They have many similar shoes across the product line and I wanted to compare them. There’s only one retailer on my area with limited stock and there’s not much info online comparing the different models. So I ordered a few different models from Amazon. Every model of Salewa shoes I tried are very narrow, I could never get a good fit even going up one full size.When I tried on the Mountain Trainer 2 in 10.5 I they way too narrow, I couldn’t even get them on. I returned and got the 11.5. I could squeeze my feet into these, but still way too narrow and were returned. I was impressed with the construction, these appear to be very high quality and have a novel lacing system. The these have a stiff and hard midsole like most hiking shoes and boots. trail shoe. The POMOCA outsole is sticky, and should work well on a trail and rocks.I only wore these a few minutes because of the width, I can’t speak to durability.

I love the look and feel of this shoe

I typically wear a size 11.5 in most brands of shoes. However, after reading the reviews and knowing that most Italian made clothing and shoes run small compared to American sizing, I ordered a size 13, and I'm glad I did. Now, I do have some room, maybe I could have slipped into a 12.5, but the size 13 worked well. In fact, I noticed much less leg fatigued after a typical 10.2 mile hike than I usually do.With a thicker sock, the 13 made for a really comfortable fit.Also, this is my first time trying Salewa. The brand showed up on my home page for recommendations. I usually wear Salomon or Arc'teryx, however, Salema seems to be made more durable. Therefore, given the quality of thees shoes, I have the confidence to try another model from Salewa. Again, I'm a first time buyer and never heard of this brand until a week ago.Lastly, the shoes are made in Romania, but according to Salema, they were first born in Munich, and now based in Italy.

Very comfortable

Initially a tight fit but after a few hours of wear they were very comfortable! Took two orders to get the right size… measure your feet as recommended before purchasing. I missed that recommendation on my first order.

Great shoes!

As others have said, they're a half size small for me. I always wear a 11.5 and these in a 12 were perfect. LOVE the shoes.

Comfort not there.

I hate to say it, but not a comfortable shoe. Not comfortable hurt the top part of my foot after halfway through the day wore them five times. Their other shoes are incredible. Just not this series.
