Davelucas7, guest, from UT, United States, asked on October 08, 2012

I m going back and forth between the Alp Trainer and the Mountain Trainer. I will be moving up to 40 miles a day with loads of up to 60 lbs and need to move fast over varied terrain. Which do you recommend? Also, where can I find the correct sizing chart to know which to order? Thanks a lot.

The Alp Trainer Mid GTX is more lightweight and flexible than the Mountain Trainer. It incorporates features similar to approach shoes. The Mountain Trainer is stiffer and has a PU shock absorber in the midsole which improves comfort over long distances. The mountain trainer is built for heavier loads and longer distances.

I read several different reviews regarding sizing. I wear a size 8. My Salomon Quest 4D fit perfectly. Do the Salewa's run small?

A
Answered by Anonymous, guest, from UT, United States, on July 18, 2013

I would recommend ordering your actual size shoe since the reviewers who indicated that sizes run small are in the minority. If they do not fit properly, you can tale advantage of Campsaver's Fit Guarantee. If the footwear you purchase does not fit comfortably and you'd like to exchange it for another size, they will recover both the cost of return shipping and reshipping the correct size.

How does this boot differ from the Salewa Mountain trainer mid?

A
Answered by Rachel, guest, from UT, United States, on June 07, 2012

The Alp Trainer Mid GTX falls under Salewa's Hike Approach category which combines the comfort and support of hiking boots with the technical features of approach footwear. It is more lightweight and flexible than the Mountain Trainer which falls under the Alpine approach category. The Mountain Trainer is stiffer and has a PU shock absorber in the midsole which improves comfort over long distances.

How do you determine which insole to remove? The yellow or the black? Is each insole designed for a particular use?

A
Answered by Zak, member, from UT, United States, on April 09, 2012

Salewa offers the "Multi-Fit Footbed" to fit the volume of your foot in their footwear. The black is more durable and should always be used as your main insole. The yellow footbed can be taken out if you need more room. It's purpose is to reduce the volume a few millimeters. With both insoles Salewa calls it a 'medium fit'. With the yellow insole removed Salewa calls it a 'wide fit'.

Q
Withanf, guest, from UT, United States, asked on March 05, 2012

Are these boots warm enough for snowy hikes and climbs high up in the Colorado mountains around June?

A
Answered by Zak, member, from UT, United States, on March 05, 2012

The Alp Trainer Mid GTX is not an insulated boot, but it is (GTX) GoreTex. GoreTex will keep your feet dry and protected from the moisture.
When warmth is concerned, I wear a standard GTX boot here in the UT mtns in the dead of winter to snowshoe. Because I'm involved in something so active I never notice cold feet.
To answer your question... YES. These boots will handle June hikes/climbs with ease. Maybe take a little thicker sock to change into should you need it.
