Mountain Light GTX
The Mountain Light GTX is a truly comfortable and technical, all-round trekking boot.

The upper is a lightweight combination of abrasion resistant suede and rugged Cordura®. Gore-Tex® lining provides waterproof breathability to avoid discomfort. The deep pull lacing securely holds the foot in place, ensuring maximum ankle support and therefore reducing the risk of a twisted ankle and blisters.

A hand mounted deep rubber rand adds extra durability to the entire boot whilst the boot also benefits from the Air-Pulse-System and additional shock absorption for a supportive, comfortable fit. The Mountain Light GTX also features the durable, trekking Vibram® Fuora sole.

The Mountain Light GTX has been designed to meet the demands of a wide variety of outdoor adventures.

In Use
The Mountain Light GTX is a beatifully made piece of footwear and the 'out of the box' fit was pretty good. We are all blessed with different shaped and sized feet so a little work selecting the right socks goes a long way to making the fit even better. My choice was a pair of Fox River 'Off Road Crew' socks designed for light hiking. We took the boots with us on a short walking break to the Licolnshire wolds. The walking is mostly easy going so perhaps not the most severe test but the hot weather and compacted tracks were harsh enough. We put in two full days and also included a climb up the second highest church spire in England at Louth.

The results were that Hanwag have produced a versatile walking boot that will perform into the snowline for mountain walking and are just at home on a country track in England. The materials that go into the Mountain Light GTX are all first class and the build quality is second to none. The lacing system is flexible enough to allow for a variety of instep heights and the tongue based venting system helps to keep your feet in good shape even on hot days.

The joining of the Vibram Foura sole with the Cordura and leather upper is protected by a seriously tough looking rand. If you are planning to give your Hanwag Mountain Light GTX boots a harsh life then this will help to keep everything together and looking good.

Well designed and made to an exacting standard the Mountain Light GTX will be a good choice for any serious walker.
