SALEWA Pro Vertical

The SALEWA Pro Vertical is the lightest boot in the SALEWA Pro Range.

A perfect combination of the unique Vibram® SALEWA Pro outsole with an even lighter and warmer upper for extreme ascents where total ankle freedom of movement and perfect grip are especially important.

SALEWA Pro Line footwear features the only flexible mountaineering sole which becomes 100% stiff when you need it. A patented SALEWA design, by simply turning the mechanism with its adjustment tool the sole of our Pro Mountaineering boots can be adjusted to become 100% rigid for climbing or semi-flexible for more comfortable walking on the approach.

A new anatomical last inspired by rock shoes has been developed for the new PRO Mountaineering line. In particular the built-in arch support and the shape of the outsole at the toe are designed to provide the highest level of performance and edging support during climbing.

The SALEWA Pro mountaineering footwear is the only line that is automatic crampon-compatible and offered with twodifferent fits for a choice of the best performance or the highest insulation.
