In the second season of use, the mesh by the bend started to wear out, which seems rather short for trekking footwear. Additionally, the plastic elements fastening the laces broke – I had to tie the laces by hand.

Alpinus Hydrotex Larouco Trekking Shoes - Black
Lightweight, low-profile trekking shoes in black, designed for long-term use in the field. Perfect for everyday wear as well as short outdoor trips and hiking during the spring and summer. The model features a Hydrotex membrane and a durable Vibram sole, ensuring excellent grip.
Hydrotex membrane
The Hydrotex membrane used in the construction enhances waterproofing while supporting air circulation and efficient moisture and heat dissipation.
Toe Protection Zone, contoured insole
The front part of the footwear is protected by a synthetic Toe Protection Zone rand, shielding the toes from mechanical injuries. A contoured insole increases comfort, while the thin EVA foam insole inside effectively absorbs shocks, improving cushioning.
Vibram sole
The multi-layer Vibram sole, with an aggressive tread, provides effective cushioning and excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces.
Precise lacing system
A precise, low-profile lacing system ensures a customized fit according to individual preferences. A practical drawstring with a stopper allows for quick on and off. A lace pocket is located on the inner side of the tongue, and a loop at the back of the upper makes it easier to put on.
Reflective Alpinus Safety elements
Reflective details from Alpinus Safety, placed on the upper, improve visibility in low-light conditions.

Alpinus Safety
Alpinus Safety features additional elements on clothing and accessories, such as reflective tapes, prints and details that increase the wearer's visibility and safety after dark or in low-light conditions.
Hydrotex Light Membrane
Hydrotex Light is a breathable technical membrane characterized by good waterproof properties. Efficient evaporation of water vapor from the inside of the footwear to the outer parts of the material allows to maintain a natural microclimate next to the skin.
Toe Protection Zone
Toe Protection Zone is the term for the reinforcement used in the front part of the footwear in the form of an external nose pad covered with an additional layer of plastic. This solution protects the footwear from mechanical damage and strengthens the waterproof properties and protects the foot from injury.

The shoes are light, comfortable, and performed well during a short weekend trip to the mountains. The weather, however, was favourable, so I didn’t have the chance to test them in more difficult conditions. After covering about 50 km I didn’t notice any problems.
-
These shoes are an example that here you only pay for the brand name. They quickly came apart, and the lacing system broke after a few months. I gave them a chance, but they failed the test. Although they cost less than my Salomons, with this brand the price also reflects the solid quality. I have several pairs of Salomons, which maintain a high standard. Here, unfortunately, you only pay for the brand, and the quality does not match the price.
-
The shoes are really comfortable, practical, and pleasant to wear, but the quick lacing system leaves a lot to be desired. After three months the plastic element holding the lace ends fell off, which made the stopper come off and it can no longer be mounted correctly. The manufacturer should improve this, because this flaw makes the practicality of the lacing system disappear, and the shoes lose their value, which affects my low rating.
-
The footwear is very light and comfortable – well contoured, does not press or rub the foot. The guard is durable, and the sole provides good grip. The lacing system is convenient, although it takes some getting used to, but it effectively stabilises the foot.
-
The shoes are very comfortable – right after putting them on, there was no discomfort for the foot. The lacing system allows for quick and easy adjustment, and the sole provides stability on various surfaces. Unfortunately, I had to return them because after just two days of gentle use, the rubber protection on the toes started to come off. I give 3 stars for comfort, lacing and the sole.
