## Overview

The Salewa Ms Rapace Gore-tex men's trekking boots combine lightweight nubuck construction with advanced GORE-TEX waterproofing and the innovative SALEWA 3F System for superior fit and ankle support. Featuring a Vibram WTCS outsole for exceptional grip and Bilight midsole cushioning, these boots are engineered for comfort, durability, and performance on alpine and rugged terrains. Designed for mountaineers and hikers seeking reliable protection and flexibility, they also support semi-automatic crampons, making them a versatile choice for year-round mountain exploration.

## Description

The Rapace GTX is a lightweight mountain boot made of robust nubuck and abrasion-resistant textile material with waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX lining. Secure hold combined with comfort and support function - the solution by SALEWA for via ferrata and alpine tours. The Rapace GTX combines the 3F system for ankle support and flexibility with an optimal fit. The Vibram Wrapping Thread Combi (WTC) outsole has a dynamic profile for good grip, while providing a natural running feel and secure grip in rocky terrain. SALEWA Bilight technology in the midsole guarantees ergonomic and durable cushioning for high comfort. At the same time, the Rapace GTX is firm enough for use with hybrid/semi-automatic crampons. The GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining ensures optimum climate comfort, while the circumferential scree protection edge made of rubber protects against chafing and impacts.

Review: Initially I was a bit worried about reading some reviews online to say it's quite a narrow fit. I don't really have narrow feet and I've tried both the 'medium fit' and 'narrow fit' insoles that come with the boots (note: the 'medium fit' ones come already imbedded in the boots) - and they both fit my feet absolutely fine. My record with getting blisters with any hiking boots or running trainers etc is terrible. I really struggle with them however I took these pair of boots for their first test along a Hadrian's Wall walk (a bit overkill I know - but just to try them out) - and I didn't get any blisters. They are very comfortable, snug and secure and gave me no discomfort straight out of the box. No breaking in required. I particularly like the rubber-like protection going around the lower part of the uppers - it'll be ideal when I go to the Lake District. I also like the way the laces work in tangent with the '3F system' to really secure your ankle. I also like how the boots are compatible with semi-automatic crampons for when I feel ready to experience this. The grip underfoot is excellent. The boots straight out of the box feel like they've been built to last - very high quality and with premium materials. The boots of course look so cool - especially with the other colours that I wear. I will say that I was slightly annoyed with actually getting the right boots via ordering here as originally I was sent a size 11.5 - NOT the size 11 I actually ordered. This was easily resolvable but felt like such a silly error to make. Overall, highly recommended for anyone hiking on any terrain in the UK I'd say and a good starting pair of boots to get into winter mountaineering. Unless you regularly have problems with your feet being too wide for footwear, these should be absolutely fine.
Review: Good quality. Hard and stiff soles. I like the way they look too !

C'est la 6 ème voir même là 7ème que j'ai ! pour moi c'est ma chaussure idéal, j'ai aussi des Mammut mais je ne suis pas aussi bien dedans et des Lowa (que j'aime pas) et j'aime beaucoup mieux marcher avec mes Ms Rapace J'ai aussi trois autre paire de Savéva basse Mountain Trainer 2 et une Mountain Trainer Lite pour les sorties moins accidentées la Lite souffre trop dans les pierriers les Alpine Extrêm là sont top Comme dit le dicton : quand on trouve chaussure à son pied on les gardes Dommage que l'on puisse plus ressemeler J'ai essayer une fois...mais le reste de la chaussure à trop vieilli ...au niveau des coutures Et sur les nouveau modèles on peut mettre des crampons semi automatique
