From outdoor gear lab-
The Salewa Pro Gaiter is a super-gaiter style mountaineering boot designed for ice and mixed climbing in cold, wet conditions. They feature a lightweight single boot which is protected from the elements by a permanently attached waterproof gaiter. The gaiter is closed by a bomber, waterproof T-Zip which runs up the front of the boot. The Pro Gaiter's super-gaiter fits very tightly on the inner boot, which gives it a very trim outside dimension.
This boot comes in a two different fits: Insulated and a Performance fit (how Salewa describes the two versions). The Insulated fit is made on a last which is approximately 4mm wider especially, in the forefoot area, which allows for thicker socks or added wiggle room. The two versions share the same materials and construction. Essentially the Pro Gaiter comes in a regular and wide fit, which is unique to any boot we reviewed.
The Pro Gaiter has a very unique feature built into the sole of the boot. The concept is similar to alpine touring ski boots which have a ski/walk mode. In this case the flexibility of the upper stays the same, but the sole stiffness is adjustable.The sole of the boot adjusts from a fully rigid "climb" mode to a semi-rigid "walk" mode with a half turn of a bolt built into the outside of the heel of the boot. The bolt, which is turned by an allen key, torques a tricam like wedge which pulls a full length metal shank tight, making the boot rigid. When the cam is un-torqued the shank allows the sole to flex. You can easily feel the difference between this boot in walk mode and one in climb mode.
FEATURES of the Salewa Men's MS Pro Gaiter Boot The Salewa Men's MS Pro Gaiter Boot is a new benchmark for professional mountain guides and expert mountaineers. The boots feature an adjustable sole system and an anatomical last with a climbing toe profile. The Salewa Men's Pro Gaiter Boot contains Flex System, a patented Salewa design which can become 100% stiff when you need it. Multiple lasts in this shoe means no friction and no blisters. Friction can also be further avoided by giving the foot enough room in the shoe. You'll definitely want to take this shoe up on that. Salewa Pro Vibram Outsole on this shoe makes it super great for glacial mountaineering, expedition, and ice climbing. It's the best for the ultimate outdoors explorer. Sole segmentation on this shoe makes it even better for mountaineering glaciers. Salewa SuperFabric is highly durable, stain and abrasion resistant, lightweight, and breathable. It's also slash resistant and flame resistant. That's a whole lot of resistances.
