Hanwag Makra Light GORE-TEX

With the Makra Light GTX from the HANWAG Makra family, you get an agile all-round solution with the perfect shaft height for via ferrata and light alpine tours. Shoes that are meant to securely carry over iron pegs, ladder rungs, or rocky edges must be particularly robustly constructed to withstand prolonged weight loads. At the same time, they should be designed to give the wearer a good feel for the ground. To ensure that ascents and descents are comfortable, a well-cushioned base that allows for good rolling behavior is essential. However, the sporty mid-cut Makra Light GTX offers even more. It is suitable for those who enjoy the advantages of a low cut when going uphill but do not want to forgo stabilizing safety at the joints when descending. This is made possible by the use of a special 2-zone fixation and a mechanical clamp that allows the shaft to be easily and directly adjusted to the respective terrain and requirements. Unlike a conventional clamp hook, the mechanical clamp reliably locks in place and cannot slip after being secured without manual intervention. This adjustment allows for a firm lacing at the ankle and a loose fixation of the upper shaft part for optimal ankle mobility during ascents and climbing. When descending, the entire setup can also be tightened above the ankle to ensure joint stability. In addition to a flexibly adjustable shaft, the Makra Light GTX impresses with a particularly lightweight and well-cushioning midsole technology that simultaneously provides the necessary stability for challenging terrain.
