I recently bought the SALEWA Rapace Gore-Tex Hiking Boots in Shaded Spruce / Sulphur Spring (EU 38), and so far I’m very impressed. I’ve worn them three times, mainly in snowy mountain terrain, and they’ve performed beautifully. The boots feel sturdy, waterproof and very steady underfoot, even when paired with semi-fast crampons — they’ve given me great confidence and grip on snow and ice. The Gore-Tex lining kept my feet completely dry and warm, and the overall construction feels solid and durable. On dry land, however, the boots do feel a bit hard at the moment. This may simply be because they’re still quite new — I suspect they’ll soften up and become more comfortable with a proper break-in period. I’m planning to keep wearing them and see how they adapt, as the fit and support already feel very promising. The colours are vibrant and striking; the Shaded Spruce with Sulphur Spring accents looks even better in person than in photos. The materials and stitching are excellent quality, and you can tell they’re built to last. Overall, these are high-performance boots that inspire confidence in the mountains. Time will tell how they wear in, but so far they’ve been a fantastic choice for challenging, snowy conditions.

I've only used salewa on my feet for years. It is the first time the rapace model, and as always it does not fail. The first time you start the 5-hour route and zero chafing. Comfort, assured support. I think that from now on I will only use the rapace model for high mountains

Desde hace años sólo úso salewa en mis pies. Es la primera vez el modelo rapace, y como siempre no falla. primera vez estreandas en ruta de 5 horas y cero rozaduras. Comodidad, sujeción asegurado. Creo que a partir de ahora sólo usaré el modelo rapace para alta montaña

Fast delivery and everything Ok! I wear a 38 and I ordered the 39, they fit me perfectly, no chafing and comfortable. My first technical boot and the use I give them is not 100% mountain. Recommendable.

Entrega rápida y todo Ok! Calzo un 38 y pedí el 39, me quedan perfectas, nada de rozaduras y cómodas. Mi primera bota bota técnica y el uso que les doy no es de montaña al 100%. Recomendable.
