Hanwag's Alaska walking boot is a comfortable and versatile shoe that keeps getting better as the terrain becomes more inhospitable. This shoe has a leather top with as few seams as possible. This is because seams can cause irritation, so the fewer the better! Thanks to the high shaft of this shoe, the ankle is also well supported so that you have optimal protection. Gore-Tex material is used for the lining of this shoe, which ensures that water cannot enter the shoe, but allows moisture to be removed. This way your feet will stay protected against moisture and will not feel clammy. The rubber outer sole of this shoe provides great grip and excellent cushioning on very uneven terrain. To offer optimal grip while climbing or going downhill, a section of the studs on the sole are placed at an angle.
