Mountain boots with precision – that's what makes them special

The highest demands are placed on all outdoor equipment. With the right footwear, there are no limits to extensive hikes in alpine terrain. Mountaineering boots from premium brands like Hanwag or Meindl have made a name for themselves in the outdoor industry over many years, and their models have proven themselves on demanding trekking tours. The range of requirements for a mountaineering boot is diverse: Starting with its wearing comfort, the boot should primarily ensure optimal climate circulation during exertion. Special climate membranes provide added comfort, keeping the foot dry without restricting breathability. Mountaineering boots are characterized by ergonomically shaped sole constructions that ensure fatigue-free foot movement, even on long hikes. They are generally equipped with a circumferential rand that provides additional support and thus ensures greater sure-footedness. Special mountaineering sole profiles ensure excellent walking comfort and maximum safety, even off-road, providing not only optimal cushioning but also the necessary grip and secure footing. Last but not least, mountaineering boots are usually waterproof and therefore ideally suited for use in diverse terrain.
