The Salewa Women’s Alp Trainer 2 Shoe is more stable than the average low-cut hiking shoe. Salewa’s 3F System runs steel cables along the suede upper’s side for the extra stability necessary for the alpine’s often technical trails. Salewa also wrapped the suede leather upper in a rubber rand for increased durability. Underfoot, an EVA midsole maintains shock-absorbing cushioning with Salewa’s own footbed for reliable comfort even with a heavy backpack on. Vibram’s rubber sole finished off this fantastic shoe for fine-tuned alpine-worthy traction
