What Makes Hanwag Hiking Boots So Special?
First-class quality, flawless functionality, and an extremely comfortable fit make Hanwag one of the most popular brands in the outdoor and hiking sector. We have summarised what makes Hanwag shoes, boots, and similar items so special for you:
Double-stitched construction: a shoe for eternity
For hiking boots, mountaineering boots, and regular boots, the cult brand places great emphasis on durability and robustness. For this reason, all shoes are made with a double-stitched or cemented construction. This construction extends the lifespan and also makes the boots resoleable – which not only saves money but, above all, protects our environment.
Futura: Integrated cuff-tongue system
The integrated tongue system prevents the tongue, also called the shoe flap, from slipping. It also reduces pressure on the shin and fibula, allowing for particularly high wearing comfort and a snug fit. This technology is a real gain, especially during extensive treks or steep ascents.
Material: highest quality criteria and organic leather
The materials used for trekking boots and similar products primarily come from Europe. A special focus in manufacturing is on the high quality of the materials used, such as leather or Gore-Tex membrane. Some models of Hanwag boots are also equipped with an upper made of organic leather. This is chrome-free tanned and comes from a family manufacturer in Croatia.
Sustainability: from material selection to sales
Sustainability generally plays a major role in the manufacturing of Hanwag shoes: raw materials are meticulously checked and selected according to special criteria. The processing is designed to be environmentally friendly and as local as possible. An example of this is Terrace Zero leather, which is produced CO2-neutrally. Internal processes such as development, supply, production, and sales also take place within Europe – this avoids long transport routes and reduces CO2 emissions.

Every foot is different! Hanwag agrees and manufactures shoes that practically fit every foot type: a wide or narrow foot, bunions or a straight toe area, small or large feet – the comfortable Hanwag trekking shoes are made for every foot type.

Who is Hanwag?
Behind the brand name Hanwag is Hans Wagner. He is the founder of the brand, which originated in 1921 in Vierkirchen near Munich, where its headquarters are still located today. Hans Wagner was the son of a master shoemaker, who taught Hans and his two brothers the shoemaking trade from scratch. Together, the three sons continued the family tradition. One of the brothers - Lorenz Wagner - founded the company LOWA, which also produces high-class hiking boots. Of course, you will also find the best trekking and hiking boots from LOWA in our assortment.
How do Hanwag hiking boots fit?
What size fits me? As a rule, Hanwag hiking boots are neither very small nor very large – so your usual size should fit. Nevertheless, there are a few things to consider when choosing the right size: To benefit from the full comfort of a hiking boot, it must fit comfortably without pinching. The heel, in particular, should have a firm hold. There should be about a finger's width of space at the front (between the tip of your foot and the shoe). This prevents your foot from hitting the front when going downhill.
Hanwag for Women and Men - the Differences
Hanwag hiking boots for women are generally a little narrower than trekking or hiking boots for men. There are also minimal differences in design. For instance, women's shoes are generally designed to be a bit more feminine and less rustic. Hanwag men's shoes, on the other hand, have a more robust appearance. For both women's and men's Hanwag shoes, there are special fits for different foot types: the Wide GTX models, for example, are a particularly popular choice for those with wide feet.
