Firetail EVO

Solid with a good grip, but not particularly comfortable. I have mixed feelings about these shoes. I have the non-GTX version. Used them for several years now in the alpine also in lower terrain. But I bought them for alpine approach so that's how I will judge them. They have a pretty good grip on solid rock also on grassy slopes and scree. They are lightweight also and durable. But that's about the good parts. These shoes are not the most comfortable when covering long distances with a heavy load. Full review

Wildfire GTX

Grip like no other shoe I've owned. A touch narrow, but still very comfy, and did I mention grip? A review in two parts Part 1 - My review after the first day: I just received these in the mail and put them on. They are very comfortable and very true to size.

They are darker black than I expected from the photo where they look more grey—but they are still pretty sharp looking. The red laces… Full review

Firetail EVO GTX

Very durable and excellent grip for via ferrata and approach. I totally recommend it and I will purchase again when I break my first pair. I have been using these shoes for two years and I'm in love with them. I won these shoes in a competition organized by Salewa. There are excellent shoes. Tested in ferratas. The grip and pronounced shape on the toe is excellent on ferrata with stone support. The rigid sole is perfect for resting on steps. The possibility of change of included insole is very useful… Full review

Raven 2 GTX

Very well made, very high quality. May not be the perfect match for every foot and ankle. The Lamborghini of boots. Very rigid shank even though it's not steel, provides enough flex in the  front of the foot for comfortable movement. Top quality materials. I purchased these a few days ago after having done thorough research and trying on multiple other comparable boots. I have begun to notice, after three days of wearing, some slow to arise comfort issues, primarily with the footbed design that's… Full review

Alp Trainer Mid GTX

Lightweight, adjustable, and comfortable, with good ankle support. The Alp Trainer Mid is a good combination of light weight and ankle support. I particularly like the cuff to toe lacing that allows tweaking to foot shape. Mine tend to be wide, but I like a firm heel cup and roomy toe box, and both are possible with this type of lacing. Vibram sole is good. Midsole is a bit thin. I always replace factory insoles with Superfeet, which help with heel stability and arch support, while providing a… Full review
