Reinforcements and construction

The Salewa Ortles Light Mid PTX boots are equipped with a full rand, which provides additional protection and durability during climbing on rocky terrain. This construction is supported by technologies such as Kevlar® and the 3F System, which together guarantee maximum stability and foot protection in challenging terrain. The height of the shaft provides additional ankle support, which is extremely important when moving over demanding ground.

Sole and insole

The outsole of the boots was designed by POMOCA Alpine, ensuring excellent grip even on slippery surfaces. The midsole made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) offers optimal cushioning, significantly increasing comfort during long routes. Additionally, the Multi Fit Plus (MFF+) insole allows for individual adjustment to the foot, which is key to maintaining comfort during intensive use.

Systems and technologies

These boots are equipped with many advanced technologies, such as Climbing Lacing, which allows precise adjustment of the lacing to the individual needs of the user. The Salewa Anti-Debries Stretch Gaiter system effectively prevents small stones and sand from entering the inside of the boot, which is especially useful during hikes on uneven terrain. 

Weight and breathability

Weighing 575 g, the Salewa Ortles Light Mid PTX boots are relatively lightweight, making them easy to wear during long expeditions. A high level of breathability ensures thermal comfort and effective moisture wicking, which is crucial during intense physical effort.
