Product description
Hanwag Banks SF Extra GTX Shoes Men black/asphalt (black/asphalt)
A dream for hikers with a wide forefoot. Hanwag's Straightfit extra last provides plenty of lateral space for the forefoot and big toe. This makes light hiking tours a pleasure. A polyurethane foam wedge approximately 1.5 millimeters thicker in the midsole makes the rolling motion smoother, the cushioning noticeably better, and long walks more comfortable. The GORE-TEX lining keeps feet reliably dry.
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 A/B
The shoe is suitable for everyday use, leisure time and walks on good trails, as well as light hiking in the lowlands.
Category
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 the 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
