A men’s waterproof, breathable Gore-tex® approach shoe designed for climbing performance on rock and technical approaches.
The Wildfire 2’s precise-fitting upper is made from robust, recycled mesh and reinforced with a network of Kevlar cables that wrap the foot for flexibility, fit, enhanced torsional stability and heel support. The Wildfire 2 switches quickly and easily from hiking mode to climbing mode using the Salewa® Switchfit adjustment system: to quickly switch from hike to climb mode, by lacing the additional offset eyelet, the heel is pulled in and the foot is pushed forward into the toe area - this compresses the toes, the same way as in climbing shoes, to increase the ability to stand on smaller holds with greater precision and the result is better edging and smearing and overall security on technical terrain. In addition, the Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) provides a customisable narrow, standard or wide fit.
To cope with wild weather, the Wildfire GTX has a Gore-tex® Extended Comfort lining to provide waterproof and breathable protection. The Pomoca Speed MTN outsole has a climbing zone at the toe and aggressive tread lugs for good traction on mud and softer terrain, while its S-Path technology ensures a more natural roll-off. And the sticky Pomoca rubber provides good friction in both dry and wet conditions.
