Hi Vicky. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the Vertex Alpine Shoe! While it is designed as a technical and fast approach shoe, it does not feature a snow-specific outsole. That being said, we will make sure to pass your comments to our team.

Almost there

I bought these in the blue from the outlet. A few things I like, the fit is like a sock. Very comfy. The laces are better than on the other hikers. There is a heel lock, which needs to be on the other hikers. The heel cup is less supportive, BIG PLUS, so it’s a bit more neutral than their trail runners. But, I took these on a 8km trail run just to see if they were any good at running, and I would say no. The heel is too stiff. Caveat, I am used to a low drop shoe so to me it felt like I was wearing a stiletto, but that 7 mm drop would not be so bad if the heel wasn’t so stiff. It feels like a big piece of plastic under the heel. Literally like you are walking in a high heel shoe. Weird cause the rest of the shoe is alright. Not too stiff. Another thing not perfect yet is the gator seems to stretch out with as you wear it and stuff does have the potential of getting in. So I would say adjust the drop to 4mm and adjust the firmness of the heel. Getting there. Isn’t Salomon a parent company? They should be able to help you with that heel!!

The fast approach shoes!

5 months ago
I switched from the GTX to the non-GTX version as there wasn’t much use to the GTX layer when water still can get in from the ankle area. This version seems more summer-friendly and breathable. GTX only when you have snowy tundra areas I suppose. The rear pull tab is horizontal which makes wearing these easier, than the GTX version. Though this version may want to adjust on the stiffness of the heel area to be softer than the GTX version. In either cases, the heel area doesn’t catch as well unless they have Achilles inserts like ski boots does.

Great for some, good for most

5 months ago
I’ve been taking these out for a couple of day trips this week to Vedauwoo, WY (grippy, some jammy approaches) and Eldorado Canyon, CO (steepish boulder field). The first thing to notice is the narrowness of the shoe. I am someone with wider feet and the vertex pinches my forefoot like no other when standing or sitting. However, this narrowness does lend itself well to techier approaches where it functions more like a climbing shoe. The sock like gaiter is great for keeping out debris and the tpu shank is just stiff enough where you need it. I did hope that the outer foam on the mid foot would hold up a bit better to Voo granite but they got scraped up pretty good. Overall this would be an awesome approach shoe for someone with narrow/med-narrow feet but I don’t know if I’d want to take these on a longer day out with my size foot.

Excellent grip and comfortable out of the box.

Excellent. I took them for the first time out and comfortable out of the box. Amazing grip, worked well for the approach on rock and dirt. Also super light when compared to other approach shoes.

Vertex Alpine Shoe Women's

Balancing the fit and performance of a trail running shoe with the stability required for long, technical approaches, the Vertex Alpine redefines approach footwear. Made for all-day mountain travel, it’s light, fast, and delivers the support and protection required for rugged, varied terrain. The sticky Vibram XS Flash 2 outsole is designed for edging, on-trail performance, and grip in wet and dry conditions. A TPU shank and toe cap add protection, and a knit collar seals out debris.
