I was looking for a boot that I could wear everyday as well as on early season Antelope and Oryx hunts that would allow my feet to breath. I just happened to have a friend that will only wear Salewa boots and he recommended I give them a try. I have worn them every day since I bought them, I have tried different boots to fit my needs over the years and I am yet to find a boot with Gore-Tex that is as light, comfortable, and breathes like the Mountain Trainer. It is definitely the perfect early season boot. I did wear them in the snow to see how they performed and it was almost instantly clear I needed to wear a different boot the uninsulated Salewa is not meant for cold temps.
Update: I wore these boots every day throughout the summer, I put a lot of miles on them, as they began show wear they became uncomfortable. Almost like they had become too small. I am let down at the short life span of the boot.
