Description

The Hanwag Banks Narrow GTX is the ideal shoe for medium-heavy hikes with a light pack, but can also be used for a light hike in the mountains. It falls under the category A/B hiking boots, which means that the shoes are slightly more flexible than category B hiking boots and somewhat firmer than category A hiking boots. The Narrow last offers nature lovers with a narrow foot a very good grip. Especially when you walk longer, but don’t want to wear too heavy shoes, the Banks Narrow GTX an ideal option!

The shoe is made entirely of nubuck leather and is equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane. This membrane ensures that the shoe is waterproof. An approximately 1.5 mm thicker polyurethane foam wedge in the midsole makes the rolling movement smoother, the cushioning noticeably better and longer walks more comfortable. The Vibram ® Endurance Pro outsole provides good grip on different surfaces.

Material

suede

The outer material of THIS WALKING BOOT is made of suede. Suede comes from the base of the animal hide. It has a velvety appearance and a soft feel. Suede can be waxed, but it can also be left untreated.

Nubuck leather

The outer material of the Hanwag Banks Narrow GTX is made of nubuck leather. Nubuck leather comes from the lightly sanded top layer of the animal hide. Sanding makes the leather feel softer, increases breathability and gives the leather a velvety appearance. Nubuck leather can be waxed, but it can also be left untreated. If you wax nubuck leather, it will become darker, smoother and shinier. When you spray nubuck leather with a spray containing wax, you treat this material in the best way.

GORE -TEX®

The Hanwag Banks Narrow GTX contains a GORE-TEX ® membrane. The GORE-TEX ® membrane ensures that these hiking boots are waterproof, but breathable. This keeps your feet dry while walking.

Narrow reads

The Hanwag Banks Narrow GTX has a narrow last. The narrow last is suitable for people where the standard fit is too wide. The narrow last provides more grip and sure-footedness for walkers with narrower feet.

Insole

The Hanwag Banks Narrow GTX has a standard insole from Hanwag. This is a quick-drying, removable insole that contributes to extra comfort while walking. The Hanwag standard insole is also available separately in our store and on our website . We also sell custom insoles that provide extra support.

outsole

Like many other hiking boots, the Banks Narrow GTX a VIBRAM ® outsole. Vibram soles are known for their high quality and durability and are therefore often used in hiking boots. These soles ensure a good settlement of the foot. The profile of the sole has been developed in such a way that it provides good grip on different surfaces. In addition, the profile of the sole is self-cleaning. This means that the sole does not retain mud and soil. Because Vibram soles are durable, they last longer than other soles.
