Hanwag Makra Light GTX Shoes - Asphalt/Orange

Agile all-rounder solution for via ferrata and light alpine tours.

It combines the perfect shaft height with numerous features that a shoe should have for this use. What he can do everything? A lot! Because shoes that are supposed to carry you safely over iron pins, ladder rungs or rock edges must be particularly solidly made in order to withstand permanent weight loads. At the same time, they should be built in such a way that the wearer has a sure feel for the ground. And for the ascents and descents to be pleasant, it needs a properly cushioned base that allows for harmonious rolling. It is suitable for all those who enjoy the advantages of a low cut uphill, but cannot or do not want to do without the stabilizing safety at the joints on the descent. Through the use of a special 2-zone fixation and a mechanical clamp, with which the shaft can be easily and effortlessly adjusted to the respective terrain and requirement, this is possible. In contrast to a conventional clamping hook, the mechanical clamp locks reliably and can no longer slip after fixation - without manual intervention. This adjustment allows, for example, a tight lacing at the ankle and a loose fixation of the upper part of the shaft for optimal ankle mobility during ascent and climbing. When descending, the whole thing can then also be tightened above the ankle so that the joint is stable. In addition to a flexibly adjustable shaft, the Makra Light GTX impresses with a particularly lightweight, precisely fitting and well-cushioning midsole technology, which provides the necessary stability for difficult terrain.
