Just wore these on a 6 day hut-to-hut hike in the Picos de Europa in Spain (some pretty intense hiking). These boots were amazing. I'd never heard of Salewa before but I was trying on a bunch of pairs in store. I think they are more well known in the European market. Wide toe box, grippy soles, no blisters whatsoever. I even have a little bunion and they still felt comfy. I went true to size (did not size up) and it was the right move for me as the true to size were a little big and gave room for my thick hiking sock and foot expansion. They are definitely water proof. I'd truly recommend these to all my hiking friends!
I'm used to trail runners for hiking, but a trip I'm doing soon requires waterproof boots. I have sensitive feet and need a slightly wide fit. The vast majority of brands I tried (Asolo, Zamberlan, Danner) were way too firm or narrow for me, and even the cushier and/or wide options (HOKA, Altra, Topo) didn't work for me either for toebox volume or pronation reasons. These check all the boxes, and — unlike a lot of others — actually look great. I'm thrilled I took a chance on these!
These are incredibly comfy thanks to the cushion on the sole, but despite a great fit, these gave me the worst blisters I've ever had. My heel was locked in well, but the heel has no cushion at all and just rubs like crazy.
