Product description
Abrasion-resistant and lightweight approach shoes for demanding tours
The Wildfire NXT from Salewa take you from the valley, through alpine, rocky terrain and to the summit! These tough and comfortable approach shoes offer an excellent balance between weight and durability. They feature a seamless, Kevlar-reinforced Matryx upper material that combines comfort when hiking with durability and high performance when climbing. Plus, the raised heel area ensures excellent heel cushioning, which is particularly noticeable on long tours.
With the 3F system in the ankle area and a rubber rand
In addition, the revised 3F system encloses the ankle area and the outside of your foot to promote flexibility while maintaining stability. Meanwhile, the Gravity rand protects your feet from rock and scree.
Vibram All-Terrain Megagrip sole for secure traction and swift progress
Underfoot, the agile Vibram All-Terrain Megagrip outsole guarantees high precision on the approach as well as secure traction in any terrain - in both wet and dry weather conditions. Last but not least, these approach shoes are also equipped with a C.F.F. (Custom Fit Footbed) Pro footbed, which provides even better support for the arch of your foot.
The highlights at a glance:
- High-strength Matryx nylon upper provides excellent durability
- 3F system in the heel and sides offer greater stability
- With protective TPU rim for the best possible abrasion resistance
- Vibram All-Terrain Megagrip outsole for optimum traction
- EVA midsole for high comfort

11.09.2026Worst Salewa shoe ever
this model is a total failure from this brand. the lining at the heel has worn out after 2 months , the cushion came out leaving a huge hole. the sole is way too stiff for the material used for the upper part of the shoe tying the shoelace is difficult. totally disappointed.
