INTRODUCTION

The Hanwag Banks II GTX is a go-anywhere boot designed for uneven terrain, backcountry hikes, and steep mountain ranges. Each pair is made from thick, waterproof nubuck leather and Cordura fabric with a waterproof Gore-Tex lining. Leather lacing tabs help transfer tension to the back of the heel for better support on uphills, while the raised heel provides stability. Finally, the boot has heel-to-toe cushion for better shock absorption and Vibram Endurance soles for grip on smooth, wet, or muddy surfaces. These boots are also perfect for city strolls and easy trail hikes.

ABOUT HANWAG

Named for its founder, Hans Wagner, Hanwag brings traditional craftsmanship and sophisticated technical expertise to every pair of boots in its product line. Made with materials sourced exclusively from European suppliers, the uppers, lining, and reinforcements are prepared using simple, hand-operated machinery before they are double-stitched. The craftsmen then use special techniques to reduce the number of seams, which minimizes rubbing and pressure points, and enhance air circulation for greater walking comfort.
