Materials

Nubuck leather

The outer material of the Gritstone Lady II 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.

Chrome-free leather

The liner of the Gritstone Lady II LL is made of chrome-free leather. Leather is often tanned using chromium-containing minerals. People who are sensitive to chromium can suffer from allergic contact eczema when they come into contact with this leather. Chrome-free leather is tanned without the use of chromium-containing minerals. Hikers with an allergy to chromium will therefore not suffer from contact dermatitis when wearing these hiking boots .

Insole

This walking shoe 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.

Vibram Ultragrip II

Like many other hiking boots, this hiking shoe also has 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.

The specification of the Ultragrip II sole is that it is medium hard and has a special cushioning at the heel. In addition, the sole has a pronounced toe and heel jump.
