We designed it for committed female hikers heading out on full-day technical trails, carrying packs of up to 15 kg.

It handles mixed mountain terrain — wet scree, steep slopes, varied ground — where every foothold needs to be solid.

For those who want a precise, protective shoe without excessive stiffness, shaped for the female foot.

Take time to adjust the lacing mid-route to lock the heel in on descents and prevent hotspots.

Wear them with a technical hiking sock to optimise cushioning and breathability on the trail.

We recommend refer to the size guide when selecting your size.

The VIBRAM® outsole delivers an infallible grip on both wet and dry ground, while the Ultrashell® membrane keeps you dry in all conditions. The perfect balance between built-to-last protection for long hiking days and a lightness that never holds you back.

To keep your shoes performing for longer, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Leave them to air dry, away from direct heat sources. To restore water repellency and extend product protection, use the Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof.

Lifetime repair

A repaired garment is a story extended. We ensure the longevity of your Cimalp equipment, season after season.

The shoe that goes the distance

In hiking, confidence is built underfoot. Load-carrying, technical terrain, wet sections: when support lacks stability or protection, every step becomes uncertain. La Balme was designed to secure your progress, whatever the conditions. It delivers reliable stability, consistent grip on the ascent and descent, and effective protection against moisture. The foot is held, the support stays sure, even when the terrain becomes demanding or the kilometres add up. A shoe designed to move forward confidently on all terrain.

Bonjour, j'ai testé hier vos chaussures sur une randonnée de 14km. Confortable, bon maintien du pied, et de la cheville, quelques petits points de"gêne, douleur" probablement dû au port des chaussures toute la journée pour la première fois. A vérifier sur les prochaines utilisation.

J'ai pris taille 40 sur conseil de la marque alors que je fais du 39 habituellement. Donc elles sont un peu plus grandes que ma taille mais juste ce qu'il faut pour mettre des grosses chaussettes par exemple. J'ai rajouté une semelle fraicheur dedans pour être un peu mieux car je ne mets pas souvent de grosses chaussettes. Mais j'ai été très agréablement surprise par le confort dans ces chaussures. Par rapport à d'autres marques dans les mêmes prix, on est pas à l'aise dans les chaussures en général mais là je me sens super bien dedans. Je les ai testées en promenade en marchant dans de petites flaques, dans de l'herbe mouillée et mes pieds restent bien au sec et surtout, je n'ai jamais froid dedans. Ce qui est rare dans mon cas. Je suis très contente de cet achat. Elles sont super.

Bonjour. En vérité cette marque taille petit puisque je chausse du 36 et que je prends habituellement du 37 avec mes semelles orthopédiques. Là j'ai du prendre un 38. Il faut dire aussi que j'ai un pied plutôt large. Sinon, c'est toujours parfait chez vous!!. Merci.
