Hiking boots

Tatra II GORE-TEX Boots

Hanwag · £193

A leather walking boot shown from the side.

Worth being NRY provisional

£192.50 against £275, with a nubuck upper and Hanwag’s trekking last. The Tatra is the boot people buy once and then buy again twenty years later, and the fit is the reason: Hanwag cut wider than most European makers, which matters more than any specification if your foot is not the shape the last was drawn around.

For
Someone with a broad foot who has given up on narrow Italian lasts.
Not for
Anyone with a narrow foot, who will swim in it however good the boot is.

What we checked

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.
