Thread: Salewa Mountain Trainers…do they break in?

Hi all

I’ve commented on my experiences with the Mountain Trainer Lite in another thread here but I’m after some specific feedback on the standard Mountain Trainer.
Had two pairs of the lites which had to be returned due leaking. Decided and was recommended to upgrade to a different boot. It’s all been done remotely as store is not local. I was thrilled with the Lites in terms of comfort and fit so had no qualms ordering the standard untried. However they arrived and I found they feel like a completely different boot, particularly in stiffness of the sole and overall comfort.
Haven’t worn them outside the house yet but had planned to go away this week with them….do they break in get more comfortable with time? Or should I play safe and send them back for something else?
I should say I’m usually found scurrying around in the bush in fairly easy terrain maybe with the off trip up higher.
Thanks in advance
