The SALEWA Lite Train shoe with custom MICHELIN sole is aimed at those who choose the mountain as their training ground. The MICHELIN Lite sole is inspired by WILD GRIP’R mountain bike and STARCROSS HP4 motocross tyres from the French producer. The aggressive tread of the resulting sole allows maximum control on soft and uneven ground. The “empty” tread blocks on the tread shoulder give the SALEWA Lite Train high flexibility, traction, grip and control while traversing slopes. Special siping in the tread block of the sole assists drainage and improves its “self-cleaning” capacity. The robust sculpture at the mid-foot has been created to provide optimal and constant traction while the reinforced tread blocks function like claws offering controlled braking even on steep slopes. Abrasion resistance and great stability are provided by the Outdoor Compound rubber mix.
