What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I got the Wildfire NXT GORE-TEX for approach hikes and scramble-heavy trails-it's the best balance of a running shoe's comfort and a climber's precision, and the waterproofing really holds up even when charging through streams."When we head out for ambitious missions from town streets to steep scree fields, we trust the Wildfire NXT GORE-TEX Shoe to keep us moving with confidence. Salewa engineered this shoe for maximum versatility: blending approach-ready precision, hiking comfort, and full waterproof protection with a low-impact, PFAS-free GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane. The Kevlar-reinforced Matryx upper stands up to sharp rocks and technical scrambles without adding weight, while the Vibram All-Terrain Megagrip outsole grips confidently across everything from slick roots to exposed granite. With Salewa's signature 3F System supporting the ankle and midfoot, and a C. F. F. Pro custom-fit footbed dialing in arch support, we're ready to move from base camp to summit and back again without missing a step.
