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

It handles mixed mountain outings — scree, wet sections, steep slopes — where every foothold counts.

For those who demand a shoe that is both lightweight and protective, without ever compromising ankle stability.

Take the time to adjust the mid-lace to firmly lock the heel on descents and prevent hot spots.

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

We recommend you follow the size guide when selecting your size.

The VIBRAM® sole delivers an infallible grip on wet and dry ground alike, while the Ultrashell® membrane keeps you dry in all weathers. It's the perfect balance between built-to-last protection for long hiking days and a lightness that never holds back your drive to keep moving.

To preserve the performance of your shoes for longer, clean them by hand with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Do not put them in a washing machine or tumble dryer. Leave them to dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. To revive the DWR finish and extend product protection, use 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 passages: when grip lacks stability or protection, every step becomes uncertain. The Balme has been designed to secure your progress, whatever the conditions. It delivers reliable stability, consistent grip on ascents and descents alike, and effective protection against moisture. The foot is held, the foothold stays sure, even when the terrain becomes demanding or the kilometres stack up. A shoe designed to move forward with confidence on all terrain.

Très bonne chaussure confortable je fais du 41 de base parfois du 42 selon le modèle dans mon cas malgré un pied fin le 42 s imposé car trop serré en largeur. Pas encore assez de retour suffisant sur mon utilisation. Marque de qualité écoute et sérieux lors du retour et d excellent conseil lors de mon appel.

Chaussures légères, confotables. Je n'ai plus qu'à les tester en randonnée (accroche, confort, imperméabilité )
