Hanwag alaska gtx backpacking boots - Hanwag Alaska GTX Backpacking Boots - Men's

Have two pairs they have worn as only a champion made boot could do for two years now, though the soles are worn 80% they they have kept the shape and stiffness to protect the ankles in up and down walking in the mountains and hilly country and work in the shop.

This boot has held up much better than than the other brand I used for 20 years, oh they were a good boot, but the uppers were shot along with the rubber rands on the boot, no thinking about resoles ha.

Han Wang, sounds Asian, but they 100% German quality, nothing broke on the boot and the rear heel cup did not wear through. Always try to use Merino wool socks too. Dump any brand boot inserts and get some Spenco inserts too.
