Hanwag Banks GTX Boots - Black/Asphalt

  1 of 4

  Pros: Good fit, true to size with a roomy toe box. Lightweight, flexible enough to run in. Good grip on a variety of surfaces. Minimal break in and comfortable for a whole shift straight out of the box. Appear robust enough for duty use. Cons: After three days of use the front of the insoles folded back on themselves whilst walking down a grassy slope. This created discomfort under the forefoot which is disappointing at this price point, hence the three star rating. Summary: Early days, seems to be a great boot badly let down by the poor insoles.

  Good boots, well-made and comfortable on initial wearing, which didn't need any breaking in. I have had one hike to date over boggy ground and which involved some scrambling. The boots were definitely better than my last pair of Haglofs, for comfort, build and grip. Absolutely brilliant service by The Woodlore team as delivered within a day of ordering.

  Good quality 3 season hiking boot. Fingers crossed they last a while as I think they are expensive for what they are. Small grumble about the laces as they are not premium quality and already after 4 weeks having to ensure a double knot to prevent them opening up the boot mid walk. Otherwise all good and much lighter than my 20 year old scarpa's.

  Purchased these boots for summer in the woods they are a really good fit and very comfortable and I have walked quite a few miles in them already. My only gripe would be that the laces are a bit slippery when lacing them up, it would have been a good idea if they had fitted the locking fittings to the boots to stop this happening although you could just fit different laces. Having said this I am sure they will last for many years if looked after properly, a nice boot and not a bad price.
