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 industry over many years and have proven their worth on demanding trekking tours. The range of requirements placed on a mountain boot is diverse: starting with the wearing properties, the shoe should primarily ensure optimum climate circulation during use. Special climate membranes that keep the foot permanently dry without restricting breathability provide extra comfort. Mountain boots are characterized by ergonomically shaped sole constructions that ensure 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 guarantees greater sure-footedness. Special mountain sole profiles ensure excellent walking comfort and maximum safety even away from paved paths, providing optimal cushioning as well as the necessary grip and secure footing. Last but not least, mountain boots are generally waterproof and therefore ideally suited for use in a wide variety of terrain.

Questions: Mountaineering boots

Are there special mountaineering boots for summer?

There are both insulated versions with a special tread that are suitable for winter hikes, and others 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 do without metal parts in the lacing, as these emit additional heat.

In what shoe size are mountaineering 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.
