Hanwag Banks Bunion GORE-TEX Women's Walking Shoes
Low cut, high comfort. A comfortable and elegant leather hiking shoe with a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane - made over a special 'Bunion' Last for Hallux Valgus.
Nubuck Leather and Textile Upper
Made of the finest nubuck and suede leather, the upper of the Banks Low features high-quality materials for maximum comfort and enhanced durability and a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX membrane that will keep feet dry in wet conditions. The durable nubuck leather is designed to protect your feet from debris and tricky terrain so you can continue with confidence and minimal distractions. This will offer complete protection from any bumps or knocks that you might pick up when out on the trails. Featuring on the upper of the Banks Low is a reliable combination of a durable GORE-TEX membrane and breathable GORE-TEX lining. The durably waterproof membrane acts as a barrier to keep your feet feeling dry and comfortable when the weather turns and the breathable GORE-TEX lining will block the entry of all moisture whilst still allowing a constant flow of air to enter and exit through it. This will mean that your feet will have a temperature regulation that will keep you feeling fresh and comfortable at all times. A special 'Futura' tongue construction allows easy entry into the shoe alongside uncomplicated adjustment. Attached at one side, the tongue is prevented from slipping outwards or forming unwanted creases so distractions from discomfort are minimised. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system that allows you to secure your foot to reduce in-shoe slippage for a stable and confident hike.
Many people - often women, but also boulderers and sport climbers - suffer from bunions (hallux valgus) and stiffness of the big toe joint. This version of Hanwag's Banks Low GTX features their special Bunion Last to provide additional room around the big toe joint.
Cushioning Polyurethane Midsole
With a cushioning sole package, the Banks Low gives a smoother roll-off with noticeably better shock absorbency and maximum comfort. This cushioned midsole ensures soft cushioning that works to protect your foot and joints as you strike down on unforgiving surfaces and tricky trails. It also works to absorb shocks for even better protection and ensures a balanced and pleasant roll-off for a midsole that allows you to hike faster for longer. This cushioning sole makes the Banks Low Bunion Lady GORE-TEX at home on all moderate nature trails, from hikes in lower mountain ranges to walks in the woods.
