Why We Like The Salewa Wildfire 2 GTX Approach Shoe

Now updated with a lighter design, the Wildfire 2 GTX Approach Shoe adapts seamlessly from hiking to climbing thanks to Salewa's Switchfit system. This system lets us adjust the laces to pull our foot forward for added security on technical terrain and scrambles or loosen the laces for a roomier fit while hiking.

Great but narrow fit

Great build quality as I’ve come to know and expect with Salewa. First fit issue I’ve had. Find they are a more narrow to box than I’ve experienced in the past, would have order the wide option had I known. Not a terrible thing for more technical approaches and low 5th class climbing but a lot of toe bang/ cramped space on the way down the mountain. I have owned several pairs of alp trainer mids, and a pair of wildfire mids where I’ve ordered the same size and had no problems. Still a great product.

Amazing Grip

These shoes are awesome! They are perfect for scrambles and light east soloing or tough approaches. They also make a really good hiking shoe but i wouldn't want to do anymore then 4 to 5 miles as they don't have that much padding. All in all a great shoe that does everything it says.

Very Comfortable

I wear it daily indoors and out. Very comfortable and so far durable. Great for hiking or daily wear.

Comfortable and ready to move.

I like these. I haven’t had a chance to really test them in the elements yet, however, so far they are very comfortable. They do make you want to walk so standing isn’t the best as they feel like they push you forward, which is what they are meant to do.

The full package

Comfortable fit (particular to your foot, I know, but fits me very well; narrow foot); good traction; rain and splashed water does not enter through the fabric. Easy on and easy off. Good looking enough for regular use and my go-to for air travel. Billed as an approach shoe, which it serves well as, and also great as a day hiker, for scrambling on rock, and striding through airports. It is my only shoe when traveling.

On my 2nd pair, usually last me about 18 months of fast roping, climbing, CQB work. My favorite pair of shoes for any job I do tactically.

If it fits!

This has been the one show that I purchase on sale or full price. Again, it does me, but it does all the things I want it to. It hikes, scrambles and is tough enough to withstand my wear and tear. I go through multiple pairs of shoes a year.
