Hanwag (named after their founder Hans Wagner) are a small walking shoes company based near Munich in Germany. They’ve been around for almost 100 years and have been creating top quality shoes for outdoor enthusiasts. Hanwag want all of their shoes to have a great fit and be tough, rugged and durable. They do this by making all of their shoes out of the best materials available, using the traditional skills of the craft. <\/p>\n

Bearing all this in mind, throughout my review of the Hanwag Belorado Low GTX Trail Shoes<\/a>, I will talk about the shoes materials, fit, grip and comfort. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The GTX in the name stands for Gore-Tex. This is a big name in the outdoor world and you can rest assured that when you buy footwear or clothing made from Gore-Tex, it’s going to perform very well. The Gore-Tex lining ensures that your feet stay dry when walking through wet terrain. What’s special about Gore-Tex is that it not only stops water coming in but it lets moisture out. Gore-Tex waterproof do have some limitations however and any shoes, even the most hardcore waterproof hiking boots, wont stay dry forever in hard rain, without waterproof trousers and gaiters. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The near-century of experience really does show when it comes to the fit. The shoes have an excellent, all round fit. They are secure enough to be great for scrambling and walking on rough terrain but not too tight. They have a really spacious toe box which I really like in a shoe.<\/p>\n Something I really like about these Hanwags is the looped lacing system. This allows you to get a really tight and personalised fit on your fair feet. One thing I really like about looped lacing system is that the laces glide through the loops easier than with other systems. Also, as they lace across horizontally rather than up and under, they don’t push down into the shoes tongue and are a much more comfortable option.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nThe Materials<\/h1>\n
