A soft-landing men’s mid-cut shoe that was built with shock absorbency, support and protection when speed hiking in alpine terrain
Soft landing
The Dropline combines the lightweight agility of a trail running shoe with the comfort and protection of a mid-cut hiking boot. It’s designed specifically to provide soft-landing shock absorbency in alpine terrain, which is made possible by the cushioned EVA rebound midsole and S Path outsole. All of these features together promote a more natural, stable and smoother roll-off during rapid, dynamic movement.
Lightweight protection
The lightweight air mesh upper is reinforced by the supportive 3F system. This system consists of a wrapping EXA Shell cage and Anti-Rock Heel Cup which locks your foot in place to ensure torsional stability. In addition, the mid-cut design and thermoformed SALEWA® Ankle Protection System (APS) cuff provides an added layer of lightweight, abrasion-resistant protection, additional lateral ankle support and comfort on rapid descents.
Customizable fit & positive traction
The dedicated 3D lacing system with integrated clamps automatically maintains the correct lacing tension in two different zones, while the customizable Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) has interchangeable layers that allow you to fine-tune the volume and fit. The POMOCA® outsole has a distinctive rounded, rocker shape that provides fast and smooth heel-to-toe transition and positive traction across varied terrain. Lastly, the gaiter at the tongue and stretch gaiter at the ankle help keep out debris on rough and rocky trails.
The Dropline is our next-generation speed hiking shoe that makes moving quickly and comfortably across long distances in alpine terrain possible.
