About this deal

The heel cup is stiffened to give protection and hold the foot in place. There’s ventilated foam padding around the ankle cuff and tongue. Best use: technical terrain, scrambling, via ferrata, mountain paths, maintained trails, urban walks. You should now be able to see approximately 2 cm (about an index fingers width) of the footbed poking out in front of your toes. The Danner shoes have good underfoot cushioning, with an EVA midsole and an insole with extra foam at the heel and forefoot area. There’s a TPU shank which gave good torsional stiffness and added stability on technical routes.

The outsole has additional stiffening elements in front of the heel section which provided extra torsional stability in what is a fairly pliable shoe. Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® Active product technology are built for extreme breathability and are ideal for highly aerobic, done in a day activities. All components are built for optimised sweat management to ensure extreme breathability and optimum comfort in high aerobic conditions. The performance is also supported by a tight fitting and minimalistic garment design. The rand’s robust qualities and the softer feel of the suede uppers combine well to provide a balance of protection and comfort. The uppers of the European-made Salewa shoe are 1.6mm suede with an overlay containing the brand’s 3F system that links the top of the lacing area with the shoe’s heel and arch area, providing a good stable hold on the rear of the foot.Although the Mescalito has no membrane, the suede uppers did repel some splashing and coped with a shower or two. The eyelets are made of leather with a nylon reinforcement on the inside. The Vibram MegaGrip sole construction is stiff. The front flex point is where it should be: Centered under the forefoot. The sole is extremely torsional stiff and the shoes can be resoled. In the shoe you will find a breathable and waterproof membrane from Gore-Tex. In particular, the transition from the Gore-Tex material to the padding around the ankles is very nicely made. The laces run through eyelets from rope that also pulls the heel counter forwards. Shoe entry Garments engineered with GORE-TEX® Pro product technology are built for maximised ruggedness and are ideal for extreme and extended use. All components are built for maximized ruggedness while strict textile performance specifications ensure optimum strength. All GORE-TEX® Pro garments must pass Gore’s toughest test conditions and most aggressive rainstorm test. The uppers are soft and pliable and there’s a low rubber toe box bumper, along with rubberised protection at the heel cup area. The top two lace holes are linked to part-covered cords which cinch in the instep area of the foot when the lacing is tightened.

The main part of the uppers is made from polyamide, and there are suede sections at the toe, rand, heel and tongue areas. The toe box has an added rubberised overlay, with a small outsole extension at the very front of the shoe.There fairly minimal foam padding around the ankle cuff and in the tongue. The Mammut shoes have Gore-Tex waterproofing and a high tongue gusset, which kept the water out well. Super grippy Vibram MegaGrip compound with Impact Brake System and differentiated lugs that enhance traction uphill and provide a sure grip downhill The lacing extends to the toe section, allowing a good snug fit to be obtained. The forefoot is fairly wide and there was no pinching of the foot and toes. The insole has a good amount of foam padding too, and the shoe has breathable Moisture-Tech lining. The Mountain Trainer 2 is, as its name suggests, aimed at walkers heading for the peaks and hills, and has features designed to provide stability and protection on technical routes. Stand on the A4 paper with your heel pressed firmly against the wall and your foot pointed forward with the edge of your big toe aligned with the edge of the paper.
