What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "The Puez 2 Mid PTX surprised me with how naturally it handled everything from rocky trails to city pavement. The cushioning is dialed thanks to the dual-density EVA, and I love how the Edging Plate gives me flex where I want it but still keeps things stable underfoot. It's lightweight, supportive, and ready for anything."Some days take us deep into the backcountry, and others lead through cobbled streets-either way, the Salewa Puez 2 Mid PTX Boot keeps us steady, comfortable, and protected from the ground up. It brings a progressive blend of alpine capability and modern design, wrapping our feet in rugged ripstop polyester with full-rand protection and a waterproof-breathable Powertex(R) membrane that's built for unpredictable conditions. Salewa built this boot with a long-distance trekking mindset, pairing a supportive fit with lightweight comfort. The dual-density EVA midsoles offer graded cushioning with a softer heel zone for smoother landings. The recycled CFF footbed and included Volume Reducer let us dial in a customized fit, while the Pomoca(TM) Alpine Trekker outsole grips with confidence across varied terrain. Inside, the Salewa Edging Plate II stabilizes each stride without limiting natural movement. Kevlar(R)-reinforced 3F cables and climbing lacing enhance midfoot and ankle hold, rounding out a design made for mountain mileage and urban versatility alike.
