Mountain boots with precision – What sets them apart

The highest demands are placed on all outdoor equipment. With the right footwear, there are no limits to extensive hikes in alpine terrain. Mountain boots from premium brands such as Hanwag or Meindl have made a name for themselves in the outdoor sector over many years and have proven their worth on demanding trekking tours. The range of requirements placed on a mountain boot is broad: starting with wearing comfort, the shoe should primarily ensure optimal climate circulation during use. Special climate membranes provide extra comfort by keeping the foot permanently dry without restricting breathability. Mountain boots are characterized by ergonomically shaped sole constructions that allow fatigue-free rolling of the foot even on long marches. They are usually equipped with a continuous rubber rand that provides additional support and thus ensures greater surefootedness. Special mountain sole profiles provide excellent walking comfort and maximum safety even away from paved paths, offering optimal cushioning as well as the necessary grip and secure footing. Finally, mountain boots are generally waterproof and therefore ideally suited for use in a wide variety of terrain.

Questions: Mountaineering boots

Are there special mountain boots for summer?

There are insulated versions whose special profile makes them suitable for winter hikes, but also models that are primarily designed to be worn in summer. Summer mountain boots are characterized by excellent air circulation and therefore ensure a pleasant climate for your feet even at high outside temperatures. In addition, summer boots generally dispense with metal parts in the lacing, as these emit additional heat.

In what shoe size are mountain boots recommended?

To avoid bumping your toes at the front when running downhill, it is recommended that mountain boots have about 1 cm of space at the front.
