Material

Nubuck leather

The outer material of the Alta Bunion II Lady GTX is made of nubuck leather. Nubuck leather comes from the lightly sanded top layer of the animal hide. Sanding makes the leather feel softer, increases breathability and gives the leather a velvety appearance. Nubuck leather can be waxed, but it can also be left untreated. If you wax nubuck leather, it will become darker, smoother and shinier. When you spray nubuck leather with a spray containing wax, you treat this material in the best way.

suede

The outer material of the Alta Bunion II Lady GTX is also made of suede. Suede comes from the base of the animal hide. It has a velvety appearance and a soft feel. Suede can be waxed, but it can also be left untreated.

GORE -TEX®

The Alta Bunion II Lady GTX contains a GORE-TEX ® membrane. The GORE-TEX ® membrane ensures that these hiking boots are waterproof, but breathable. This keeps your feet dry while walking.

Bunion reads

The Alta Bunion II Lady GTX has a bunion last. The bunion last has been specially developed for people with hallux valgus. A hallux valgus is a deformity of the big toe. The big toe is skewed towards the other toes. This creates a lump on the outside of the big toe, also called a bunion. This bunion can cause a lot of pain when pressure is applied, for example when wearing shoes. The bunion last gives extra space to the joint of the big toe and thus prevents pain while wearing this walking shoe.

Insole

The Alta Bunion II Lady GTX has a standard insole from Hanwag. This is a quick-drying, removable insole that contributes to extra comfort while walking. The Hanwag standard insole is also available separately in our store and on our website . We also sell custom insoles that provide additional support.

outsole

Like many other hiking boots, the Alta Bunion II Lady has GTX a VIBRAM ® outsole. Vibram soles are known for their high quality and durability and are therefore often used in hiking boots. These soles ensure a good settlement of the foot. The profile of the sole has been developed in such a way that it provides good grip on different surfaces. In addition, the profile of the sole is self-cleaning. This means that the sole does not retain mud and soil. Because Vibram soles are durable, they last longer than other soles.
