Banks GORE-TEX Boots
Hanwag · £165
Worth being NRY provisional
£164.50 against a £235 list for a German-made leather boot built for hill walking and trekking. Hanwag resole their boots, which is the whole argument for leather over fabric: the upper outlives several soles and you send it back rather than replacing it. At this price it is the best value in the category by a clear margin.
- For
- Someone who wants a boot to resole rather than replace, at the lowest price that allows it.
- Not for
- Anyone who wants light feet on a short walk, where fabric is pleasanter.
What we checked
- Hanwag build it for hill walking and trekking tours. Ellis Brigham
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
