Salewa Women's Footwear: Deals

How long will you be on the trail?

• Hiking shoes: day hikes or ultralight backpacking
• Hiking boots: multi-day treks with heavier loads

What upper is right for you?

• Leather: water- and abrasion-resistant, durable
• Synthetic: lightweight, break in easily, dry faster

Look at the lugs

• Deep, thick lugs improve grip
• Wider lug spaces sheds mud and offer good traction

Check crampon compatibility
Mountaineering and winter hiking may call for crampons. Narrow your search for boots with crampon compatibility.

Are you new to hiking?

• Look for thicker soles and potentially a higher cuff for better support.

Do you need speed?

• Lightweight trail-running shoes can shave time off the trek.

Check the temperature

• Hiking shoes and trail runner are cooler in hot months; hiking boots provide more warmth.

Match the outsole with your terrain

• Technical terrain requires a beefier outsole and can call for deeper lugs.
