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 designed to provide secure footing over iron pegs, ladder rungs, or rocky edges must be particularly robust to withstand long-term weight loads. At the same time, they should be constructed to give the wearer a good feel for the ground. To ensure comfortable ascents and descents, a well-cushioned base is necessary, allowing for good rolling behavior. 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 compromise on stabilizing joint support when descending. This is made possible by a special 2-zone fixation and a mechanical clamp that allows the shaft to be easily and directly adjusted to the terrain and requirements. Unlike a conventional clamp hook, the mechanical clamp reliably locks in place and cannot slip without manual intervention after being secured. This adjustment allows for a tight lacing at the ankle and a looser fixation of the upper shaft for optimal ankle mobility during ascents and climbing. When descending, the upper part can then be tightly laced over the ankle to stabilize the joint. In addition to a flexibly adjustable shaft, the Makra Light GTX impresses with a particularly lightweight and well-cushioned midsole technology that also provides the necessary stability for challenging terrain.
