Hanwag Alta Bunion II GTX Shoes Women asphalt/mint

Stable, pain-free and comfortable when walking - this isn't a matter of course for many walking women who are affected by hallux valgus. With the Alta Bunion II leather boot - and the Bunion last specially developed for this foot position - it is now. The last offers extra space around the metatarsophalangeal joint and in the forefoot area. This guarantees pain-free walking comfort thanks to the extra space and optimised seam guidance. In addition, a reinforced PU foam wedge provides soft cushioning and thus enables harmonious rolling movements. A combination of permanently waterproof GORE-TEX lining and the highest quality nubuck leather uppers make the Alta Bunion II a comfortable and reliable companion for hikes from the lowlands to easy hut tours in the foothills of the Alps.

Vibram Endurance
Sole with good cushioning for versatile trail shoes, which offers very good grip even on softer terrain (forest floor, meadow, etc.). With very good flex and full-length soft step insert.

Category B
The shoe is suitable for demanding hikes in the foothills and light trekking tours off paved trails and on climbs.

Categories
Most importantly, 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 you'll find categories A-B-C-D for each model.

This gives you an idea of how stiff the shoe is.

D = very firm and fully crampon proof (step-in/automatic crampons).
C = fixed and conditionally crampon resistant (strap-on/semi-automatic crampons)
B = firm grip and solid but flexing sole for trekking and hiking
A = soft, very good flexing structure
