Thread: Hanwag to Salewa

Just in case anyone views this thread while researching boots, a further update, had to return the replacement pair of Mountain trainer lites I received in August, same problem, leaking around toe cap area. I was almost going to accept wet feet and not bother returning them as they are just so damn comfy but I noticed the fabric outer was starting to wear out where the boot creases while stepping forward, this is also where the leak is, leaking is one thing but boot falling apart is another. Anyways awaiting the distributor to confirm but will be looking to go to the standard version of the mountain trainer if a replacement is offered. Maybe bad luck with two dodgy examples as have had light use in bush only.

My Rapace are still going good as gold , will definitely be getting another pair when these ones wear out. lately i've been putting some Nikwax on the gortex tongue which has helped with waterproofing.
