I really value Militaria.pl – it is truly one of the best, if not the best company on the market. Any other products I had an issue with, I could easily return or make a complaint about. It’s a pity that wasn’t possible with these boots. I definitely do not recommend this model – for this price they should last at least two years, but unfortunately, that was not the case. Of course, one can blame improper use, but is that really the case? I used them in various, sometimes difficult mountain conditions. In my opinion, they do not work well in such terrains, and it's hard to say what they are actually suitable for. They are very comfortable, but as for durability, I have nothing to compare them to. I regret that I couldn't make a complaint. I definitely do not recommend these boots.

Salewa Wildfire Edge MID GTX shoes - Black
Lightweight and durable approach shoes in black, designed for hiking in challenging terrain and mountain climbing. The innovative Salewa Switchfit system allows for quick and easy compression of the front part of the shoe, providing a better fit during climbing.
Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane
The inner lining with a breathable Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane effectively protects the feet from moisture and keeps them dry even in demanding weather conditions. It efficiently wicks moisture away from the shoe, ensuring user comfort.
Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) insoles with Edging Plate
High-quality Multi Fit Footbed Plus (MFF+) insoles allow for individual adjustment to the shape of the foot, providing optimal comfort. The additional rigid Edging Plate in the Wildfire Edge MID GTX model enhances directional stiffness in the front part of the shoe, while keeping the rest of the insole flexible to support natural foot movement.
Pomoca Speed MTN Pro sole
The durable rubber Pomoca Speed MTN Pro sole ensures excellent grip on various surfaces, including smooth rocks. The specially designed tread pattern provides effective traction on muddy and soft terrain, both in dry and wet conditions. The front of the foot and its edges are protected by an additional rubber layer, which effectively shields against impacts with rocks and roots.
Ankle support and 3F System
The footwear is equipped with ankle support and the 3F System, providing excellent support and fit. A flexible cuff effectively prevents stones from entering the shoe. A loop at the back facilitates quick putting on and taking off.

Gore-Tex Extended Comfort is a single-layer membrane without an additional thermal insulation layer used, for example, in desert boots and summer trekking and tactical boots. Optimal heat conduction together with a moisture management system and high breathability provide adequate thermal comfort, preventing overheating.
MFF+ (Multi-Fit Footbed) is a modular shoe insole system with a simple two-piece design connected by Velcro. It allows shoes to be carefully adjusted to accommodate varying degrees of foot tenacity or the use of socks of different thicknesses, thus providing adequate support during long-term use.
The 3F system is a way of connecting three points on the shoe: the instep, the sole and the heel. The system uses a special design based on a steel cable or strong strap that surrounds the ankle, but does not immobilize the ankle joint. This gives the shoes flexibility, lateral stability and a proper fit, which is important especially on uneven or difficult terrain.
Switchfit Adjustment is a system developed by Salewa that allows you to change the profile of a shoe from an approach shoe to a climbing shoe. Footwear equipped with this solution has an additional eyelet through which the laces are threaded to push the heel forward and compress the toes to the tip of the shoe. This procedure provides greater precision in the steps and stability during climbing.
Edging Plate is a type of edge plate used at the front of the insole in the toe area. It provides additional directional stiffness without affecting the flexibility of the rest of the shoe, allowing the foot to roll comfortably and naturally. This type of solution translates into greater precision in the steps taken while climbing.
The Pomoca Speed MTN Pro is an outsole made of durable butyl rubber (IIR). Thanks to the material used, it features very good grip on smooth, rocky surfaces in both dry and wet conditions and optimal traction.

I can wholeheartedly recommend these boots to anyone considering purchasing them. Although they are mainly designed for trails, they also worked great for me during service. I walked in them for over 40 minutes in ankle-deep water and the membrane handled it perfectly, plus they are light, and the flexible part of the boot effectively prevents sand and small stones from getting inside. The only downside is that they are strictly for the warmer seasons – summer, spring or early autumn – in winter, even with thick socks, they simply get cold.
