Hanwag Tatra Top GTX Boots - Brown

  1 of 8

  These boots fitted like slippers straight out the box. They are sturdy, extremely comfortable, and have now been well used. (I have always trusted another well-known brand). Spending the money without seeing the boots was a gamble, I love the height up the leg, the stability as a result is excellent. The boots have performed well in heavy rain, thick mud and now ice and snow. I reckon they will give me many years of sure footed reliability on all walking terrain.

  These boots are fantastic and I wear them most days. Have had them over a year and it's like I'm just wearing them in. I have slightly wide feet and these boots fit well, not too tight at all. They are comfortable when worn all day and days spent wearing them are happy days. I like the level of ankle support which the extra height gives. They can handle any weather, keeping feet warm on cold days but not hot in the middle of summer and they are waterproof. I like to keep them clean and wax them regularly. The first few applications of wax changed the initial light brown to a much darker shade but you soon get used to it.

  Expensive, yes! But what you get for your money is outstanding build quality with great materials. The extra height did take a little getting used to as they do initially feel a little restrictive. That said they were comfy from the first fit and only took a few hours to break them in and get used to the extra height. Not yet had chance to test in wet weather but sure they will be fine. Buy with confidence from Woodlore.

  Nice snug fit; good stability on uneven moorland terrain; waterproof as you would expect; rubber rand has stood up to rough burnt heather; will have to see if it continues to provide adequate protection to the front leather over the course of the shooting season.

  These boots are amazing, comfortable from the first use. I have been wearing them for long country walks and also urban (nights out in city centre pubs) with no problems.

  So far have only used them on short walks in the Alps over Christmas. Warm and dry as a bone even when caked in snow for hours and perfect grip on everything except black ice. Stiff sole but comfortable all around, took a couple of hours for them to wear in a bit. Felt lighter than expected, in a good way. They're clearly as well made as they're cracked up to be, exactly as described basically. It felt like you could climb Everest in them. Good boots!

  Overall, a really good pair of boots. I'm a size 11 in shoes/trainers and my feet are slightly wider than average. With one pair of thick woollen socks, a size 11 of these boots fits perfectly. Really comfortable straight out of the box. I've given 4 stars for two reasons. The insoles are not very supportive, so I've replaced them with more substantial ones. (The boots fit very well with both the original insoles and with the replacements). On the heel section of one boot, some of the stitching is right on the edge of the outer piece of leather, rather than 2mm inside. (A minor point, but disappointing given the price).

  Very well made quality boot, I used them on wilderness navigation course for a week and found them very comfortable, I reckon they will be a good winter boot hiking on rugged terrain.
