For day hikes in the forest and in the mountains, for more flat terrain but also for lighter hikes in mountainous areas. You have a slightly lighter backpack as you are mainly going from hut to hut, and thus need something stable and comfortable on your feet, but to save weight you don't need a real hiking boot. Then let us introduce you to the Hanwag Banks, a boot that has a Vibram sole with several grippy studs that ensure a secure step in the varied terrain. Something that the medium-high shaft also helps to contribute. A shock-absorbing midsole ensures extra comfort on those really long days and walks, and on the upper you'll find a durable nubuck leather with a GORE-TEX membrane for waterproofing. This particular boot has been developed for those who have a normal wide foot, but who like to have a toe box wide enough to provide extra space for your toes or especially your big toe. The boot has been designed according to StraightFit Extra, which helps to ensure the best possible fit for your feet.
