Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Megagrip sole different from standard rubber?

The Vibram Megagrip compound is the same sticky rubber used in rock climbing shoes. It provides 25% more traction than standard hiking shoe rubber, giving you confidence on technical rock sections.

How does the Climbing Lacing system work?

The lacing extends all the way to the toe box, allowing you to fine-tune the fit for precision on technical terrain. This gives you the same level of control you'd expect from a climbing shoe.

What is the 3F System?

Salewa's patented 3F System provides targeted support at the ankle and heel. This technology ensures stability and precision when handling uneven terrain and technical approaches.

Are these suitable for long hikes?

Yes, the breathable mesh construction and low-cut design make them comfortable for extended approaches. The lightweight build at 390g per shoe reduces fatigue on long days.
