Review: Outstanding boot - Salewa rapace has to be the best boot I have ever used. I have been hiking since I was in my mid teens and climbed mount Olympus twice. Plus I was in the Marines. I have never used boots that are so comfortable and required absolutely no break in time like these rapace boots. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis for a long time and I have narrow feet with high arches and finding boots that fit well can be a struggle. I took the advice of folks that recommend getting half a size larger than normal. Put on some wool socks and went for a 4 mile hike at Tenaja falls CA with a 30 lbs pack. No break in time, no hot spots. This boots are a light weight mountaineering boot. It’s stiffer than most but still has a bit flex so it’s not uncomfortable. The heel and tread design ensure good grip even in steep and loose ground. The lace system ensures that the boot conforms to the foot ensuring no hot spots or blisters. I’m glad I got them half a size larger. This gives me a bit of room so when I’m going down hill under heavy load my toes don’t hurt. I also like the included extra insoles. The fit with my sock combo make a perfect fit. I know that each person’s feet are different but these are great for me. Update: I used these boots for a three day trip in the Sierra Mountains just a bit lower than 7000 feet of elevation. Wend down and up on some very steep terrain with loose rocks and soil. The boots were awesome. Good grip, support for the ankles enough flex to be comfortable but stiff enough to support going uphill. If they provide waterproof I’ll say they are perfect.
Review: Well made and good fit - Great boots I have several pairs. Fit is good I have wide feet. Never had a blister. I wear them for hiking and everyday for about a year then wear them daily for work. They last over 2 years that way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome boots for rugged adventures.
*by J***N on October 16, 2021*

These boots are solid while being dry, comfortable and stable. Grip is outstanding. I live in CO and hiking trails out here you can encounter all types of terrain. I bought mid August and only wore them for two short hikes less than 5 miles before elk hunting season. Then hiked over 100 miles in a 14 day period. No blisters. Was hiking steep untrained terrain while side hilling. No issues. Had to retie show more than other boot but I figured this will be just during the break in period. They are a stiffer boot. Love the steel shank. Can step on a rock under forefoot and not be bothered even with a heavy pack. Awesome boots!
