As is often the case with Hanwag, the Makra Pro also has an asymmetrical, soft tongue. This allows it to adapt even better to the foot, which is supported by the easy-glide lacing and the snug, softly padded shaft. The snug fit increases both surefootedness and precision, which pays off in tricky terrain and when scrambling - especially as the sole is edge-stable...

Product details
The low cut version of the Makra Pro GTX - the Makra Pro Low GTX - is an approach shoe designed for challenging terrain. But what actually makes a good approach shoe? Versatility is key. The Makra Pro Low GTX performs well on a variety of surfaces: from paved paths to forests and meadows, and even rocky fields. Comfort, stability, and flexibility play important roles. Its lightweight yet particularly stable midsole is made of PU and EVA: the oversized PU heel provides perfect cushioning, while a reinforcing PU foam wedge in the heel area supports an ideal rolling motion. EVA in the forefoot area ensures precision during the initial step - and the exclusive Vibram "Makra outsole" offers excellent grip. A feature of the Makra family is the optimized Ghilly lacing that extends to the toe area - the laces are threaded through textile loops. This design provides good support even in the front area and in a mid-cut model, ensuring a stable fit in the shoe. Thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, feet stay dry even in unpredictable weather. Perwanger leather is robust, breathable, and durable. A material combination that impresses across the board.
