Hey y'all, Hanwag is having a sale on several of their GTX boots with some models up to 50% off. I've been looking for some true "mountaineering" style boots to add to my lineup and offer more stiffness for a heavy pack, rougher terrain, etc. I've doing a lot of research, so I figured I'd make a post to hear others' experiences and share my first impressions in case others are looking into any of these boots. I ordered three pairs to try on and will keep the one that wins.
I ordered:
Ancash II GTX
Tatra top wide GTX
Brenner pro wide GTX
I wear size 14 in Nikes and have a pretty wide foot (12cm), so I went with wides whenever possible. The Alaska GTX's were out of stock in 14 wides, which is why they didn't make the list, but the Ancash II looks comparable though a bit and apparently the StraightFit Extra last they use for this model is a bit wider in the forefoot. I will update with my impressions and which one I decide to keep.
In the meantime, it would be great to hear about others' experiences with any of these boots.
