Product details

The Ortles Light Mid Powertex by Salewa is a robust hiking shoe specifically designed for alpine terrain. This high-altitude boot combines athletic performance with thoughtful details to meet the demands of challenging mountaineers. With a sturdy sole suitable for use with combination crampons, the shoe offers both stability and flexibility. The use of high-quality materials such as extremely durable nylon and a waterproof, breathable PowerTex membrane ensures optimal comfort and protection in various weather conditions. The elastic gaiter and protective rubber rand provide additional protection against dirt and moisture, while the innovative 3F system with Kevlar laces ensures a precise fit. The Ortles Light Mid Powertex is therefore ideal for mountaineers who venture into higher altitudes and require safety and performance on both snowy and rocky paths.

  • 3F system with Kevlar laces for optimal fit and stability
  • PowerTex membrane provides waterproofing and breathability
  • POMOCA Alpine Light outsole for excellent traction
  • Protective rubber rand and side protection structure made of high-strength TPU yarn
  • Elastic gaiter made of abrasion-resistant PA/PE blend for additional protection.

  • PositivePrecision & ground feel
  • Negativeless comfortable

The lightweight alpine touring boot with complicated lacing and a tight gaiter offers great ground feel. It is dirt-repellent, very grippy on trails, but not off-road and offers a precise kick, but less cushioning.
