The MTN Trainer 2 was developed in Montebelluna, the cradle of alpine shoe craftsmanship, and is a durable and versatile low-cut alpine approach shoe featuring a high-quality 1.6 millimeter thick suede upper and a Vibram outsole. The robust upper has a full rubber protective rand for 360° abrasion resistance in rocky terrain and during foot traffic, as well as a quick-drying Gore-Tex Extended Comfort lining for lasting waterproofing and optimized breathability. Beneath the laces is a protective stretch gaiter that keeps out rain and groundwater. The improved last construction is 15% lighter and more flexible than the original, providing a comfortable fit, while the expanded PU midsole offers long-lasting cushioning and rebound. The multifunctional Vibram outsole ensures agility and stability on rough terrain. Its deep, self-cleaning grooves and aggressive lugs guarantee good grip on rock and rubble, as well as optimal traction on mud and grass. Under the midfoot, there is a special climbing profile with right-angled lugs that maximize the force exerted by the foot and provide better grip on the rungs of iron ladders than conventional shoes.
