Materials
Nubuck leather
The outer material of the Banks Lady LL 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 Banks Lady LL is 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.
Leather lining
The Banks Lady LL has a leather lining. The advantage of a leather lining is that it can quickly absorb a lot of moisture. In addition, a leather lining contributes to a pleasant fit. The leather forms to your feet and therefore ensures that the shoes adapt completely to your feet.
Insole
The Banks Lady LL has a removable insole from Hanwag. This insole contributes to extra walking comfort and is also available separately in our store and on our website . We also sell custom insoles that provide additional support.
outsole
Like many hiking boots, the Banks Lady LL a VIBRAM ® outsole. Vibram soles are known for their high quality and durability and are therefore often used in hiking boots. The Vibram® Trekking SF 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.
