Hanwag Alaska Pro Wide GTX Shoes Men century/black

Robust and enormously versatile - an absolute trekking classic. The Alaska Pro Wide GTX is made for demanding day hikes to week-long outdoor adventures with a heavy backpack. Thanks to GORE-TEX lining, the feet stay dry even in mud and rainy weather, and the slightly higher scree guard edge on the Alaska Pro Wide GTX version protects the leather against impacts and cuts. A reliable fit is ensured by particularly stable and durable lacing parts made of die-cast metal. The polyurethane midsole is covered with a 0.2 mm thick TPU film. This makes the sole unit not only lightweight and particularly comfortable, but also uncomplicated to maintain and significantly more resistant to hydrolysis. The insoles are made of chrome-free tanned leather. The high-cut shaft with single-sheet construction stabilises and protects the ankle area. The Wide Last, which is wider in the forefoot and ball of the foot, prevents lateral pressure points in the forefoot area for wider feet. Category B/C The shoe is suitable for demanding hikes in the low mountains, even on bad trails. Category The stiffness of the sole, the offset (how far the sole is rounded to allow good rolling), and the upper construction determine how a model positions itself within the categories. For this reason, for each model you will find the categories A-B-C-D. This gives you an idea of how stiff the shoe is. D = very firm and fully crampon resistant (step-in/automatic crampons). C = fixed and conditionally crampon resistant (strap-on/semi-automatic crampons) B = firm support and solid but flexing sole for trekking and hiking A = soft, very good flexing structure
