  Only brand of hiking boot I trust

  I have an older pair of Hanwags, 10 years old and still no sign of great wear. I decided to get a summer boot by them. 10km without break in and not so much as a blister. Awesome boots!

  Seems well made, but didn’t suit me

  I’d read some favourable reviews about the Hanwag brand and thought the Banks SF Extra Lady GTX hiking boot sounded like it might work for me. I have quite pronounced bunions, so need extra width in the forefoot. This boot felt fairly comfortable, though not super roomy in the toe box. Also, they felt very stiff and I wasn’t sure I wanted to put up with breaking them in. Ultimately, I returned these boots and found a hiking boot constructed with more fabric—so more flexible—that has proved better for my purposes. If you prefer a stiffer boot, this may be the boot for you.

  Nice build just not as roomy as hoped

  The boots seem very well build. I was looking for a show with a wider forefoot. While it's a straighter fit it's unfortunately not as roomy as anticipated. The big toe is fine - but the little toe side is still tight.

  Great Hanwag construction!

  I ordered both the Banks SF Extra and the Alta Bunion boot to compare. Both give extra room in the toe box, but the Banks gives even more across the entire width of the toes and continues with a straighter fit through to the narrowest part of the foot. (The Hanwag website describes this really well, with pictures). Other than width, both boots are nearly identical. The shoe tag said the Banks was a bit softer, but I found each boot flexed the same and felt the same. These boots locked my heel in well and laced smoothly. I'm normally a 9 in most footwear brands, but with all Hanwags I have to go up 1/2 a size.

  Great boot for small ankles, but wide enough in tie box. Boot is darker in colour than pictured
