Salewa Puez 2 Knit PTX Shoe - Men's Java Blue/Black, 10.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Puez 2 Knit PTX is my everyday hiking and travel hybrid—it feels agile like a sneaker but hikes like a trail shoe. The knitted upper is super breathable yet durable, and the Alpine Hemp midsole makes me feel better about what I’m wearing on the trail. The fit is precise with the volume reducer, and traction’s solid thanks to the Pomoca outsole.""From alpine towns to alpine trails, the Salewa Puez 2 Knit PTX Shoe keeps our stride light, smooth, and supported. Designed with an abrasion-resistant knit upper and wrapped in protective rubber, this versatile trekking shoe delivers long-lasting comfort on dirt, stone, or pavement. Whether we're navigating rugged trails or city streets, it provides performance-driven protection and all-day wearability. This PFC-free shoe incorporates Salewa’s innovative circular approach to design with its Alpine Hemp midsole—crafted from recycled fabric waste and virgin hemp to reduce EVA use without compromising cushioning. The dual-density EVA platform includes softer heel zones for impact absorption, and the CFF footbed and volume reducer insert work together for a customizable fit. Underfoot, the Pomoca Alpine Trekker outsole offers multi-surface grip, while the internal Edging Plate II ensures stability and flex. Finished with Salewa’s Kevlar®-reinforced 3F System and climbing lacing, it delivers an adaptive, supportive fit for variable terrain."
