About Hanwag Boots & Walking Shoes

Choosing Your Hanwag Boot

  • Terrain & use: For rugged trails pick a higher boot like the Alaska GTX; for lighter walks or town use go for Banks GTX or Rotpunkt models.
  • Material & waterproofing: Nubuck leather with GORE‑TEX® is ideal for wet and rough conditions; suede/mesh options offer lighter weight for mixed terrain.
  • Fit & comfort: Hanwag boots are known for precise fit and support. Use the size chart, break them in gradually and consider resoling service for long life.
  • Sole & grip: Vibram® or Hanwag’s own outsoles provide grip on wet rock, mud or pavement. Choose deeper lugs for trail, flatter tread for urban or light use.
  • Care & sustainability: Clean off grit, oil the leather when needed and restore waterproofing. The resoling service extends lifespan — a sustainable choice.

Our selection of Hanwag walking boots offers performance, durability and refinement. Whether you’re walking the country lanes or hiking remote peaks, the right Hanwag boot will carry you further, with comfort and confidence.
