Hanwag's Alaska is a comfortable and versatile boot that is deal to wear as the terrain becomes more inhospitable. This boot has a leather outside designed in such a way that almost no seams are used for the construction, as seams will rub during long walks resulting in rough spots on your foot. Thanks to the high shaft of this boot, your ankle is also well supported, providing you with optimal protection. GORE-TEX is used for the lining of this boot, which ensures that water cannot enter the boot, but vapour can be removed, protecting your feet against moisture and clamminess. The rubber outer sole of this boot provides good grip and great cushioning, especially on uneven terrain. The sole has special zones to support people who either have overpronation or supination. In order to have an optimal grip during downhill walks, part of the profile studs are placed at an angle. This version of the Alaska has extra space at the forefoot to offer more comfort to people with a wider foot.
