The Puez 2 Knit Powertex is designed for a smooth fit and long-lasting comfort during short or extended mountain hikes on uneven trails and a variety of terrain, as well as for various types of daily urban explorations. It features an abrasion-resistant knit nylon upper, reinforced with an external toe cap and a protective rubber rand with a waterproof and breathable PFC-free Powertex® membrane, as well as a low-impact Alpine Hemp midsole. Circular and sustainable. In the forefoot, the Alpine Hemp midsole is made from recycled hemp fabric scraps and virgin hemp, reducing the use of virgin EVA, saving resources and offering a sustainable perspective without compromising performance. We apply the same concept to this model's sustainable laces, combining Alpine Hemp with recycled polyester. Long-lasting comfort. Its trekking-specific last, dual EVA midsole with graduated stiffness and softer heel cushioning, and recycled CFF footbed work together with the included Volume Reducer to ensure greater comfort and a customized fit. Innovative technical solutions. The Puez Knit Mid Powertex features a Pomoca™ Alpine Trekker outsole that guarantees grip and traction on technical terrain. The new Salewa Edging Plate II is the heart of the construction: embedded in the insole, it is a special thermoplastic structure that runs the length of the boot and offers a combination of increased flexibility and cushioning, ensuring comfort on long hikes. It features specific levels of stiffness and flex in the forefoot and heel for targeted rigidity and increased stability. Additionally, the proven Salewa 3F system with Kevlar® cables ensures a supportive fit around the ankle and provides snug midfoot stability. This is further enhanced by the climbing lacing system that extends all the way to the toe. This trekking shoe bears the Salewa Committed symbol and meets our strict sustainability and eco-friendly production criteria.
