Hanwag Alta Bunion II GORE-TEX Women's Walking Boots

Designed for comfort with extra room at the forefoot - a lightweight leather hiking boot made with Hanwag's special Hallux Valgus 'Bunion' Last.

Nubuck Leather and Textile Upper

Made of nubuck leather sourced from European suppliers, the upper of the Alta II 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 Alta II 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. 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.

Supportive, comfortable footwear free from discomfort - unfortunately, this is not the reality for many women hikers with bunions. This is where the Alta Bunion II leather hiking boot comes in. It was made especially for women with a hallux valgus thanks to its Bunion Last. The last provides extra space around the base joint of the big toe and the forefoot. Together with optimised stitching in this area, the additional room ensures pain-free hiking comfort. 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 Alta II GTX features their special Bunion Last to provide additional room around the big toe joint.

Foam Wedge Midsole

With a reinforced PU foam wedge in the midsole, the Alta II gives a smoother roll-off with noticeably better shock absorbency and longer-lasting comfort. This PU foam wedge ensures softer cushioning that works to protect your foot and joints as you strike down on unforgiving surfaces and tricky trails. The foam wedge absorbs shocks for even better protection and provides better roll-off for a midsole that allows you to hike faster for longer.

Vibram Endurance Pro Outsole

Featuring a Vibram Endurance Pro outsole, the Alta II GORE-TEX Walking Boots from Hanwag have been designed to be a reliable partner for hikes in terrain ranging from flatter regions to easier hut-to-hut tours in the Alps. The high-performance rubber compound offers unparalleled sticky grip and optimal ground adaptability, allowing you to tackle tricky terrain with ease whether the surface is wet or dry. The durable rubber offers rugged longevity providing unprecedented grip hike after hike, and trail after trail. Deep lugs help you to move through dirt with ease. Designed to keep you feeling confident wherever your hike takes you the Vibram Endurance Pro outsole ensures great traction and superior foot protection.
