Hanwag Boots

[fillthefreezer]

boots are here, so far so good. been wearing the alaskans around the house and theyre feeling good. i think ill take them outside soon

Hey fill, how do they fit compared to your regular size boot, are they true to size? I ordered some of the Alaskans as well, and am expecting them in the next day or two, couldn't pass up the sale price, have heard nothing but good things about any of the Hanwag boots.

i ordered same size as other mountain boots ive trued on and they seem to be a good fit so far.
similar in fit to lowa's. they fit my narrow ankles well. kenetreks and asolo do not fit me well.

Mine are on the way too. I ordered my normal hunting boot size also, on the advice of Scott at Lathrop. He said it's a good idea to call him for sizing since he likes to use the UK sizes for truer fit. Can't wait for them to show up, even though I'll only have a week until my next surgery.

the wife was beating me up about cruising the house in my scivies and new hanwags, just breaking them in before they go outside...

breaking in the scivies before you go outside?

I'm going to give Lathrop a call one if these days. Been looking at the Kenetreks, Crispis and Zamberlans.

Have gone through too many cheap boots and sore feet in the past. Time to invest in some comfort.

The Hanwags have been, so far, really good for me.  I have a lot of trouble with heel slip and I can't wear Kennetreks (although they are a really well made boot) and the Hanwags have a better heel cup in them and I don't get any heel slip.

Exact same reason I use the Hanwags.  Sure wish they used the same hardware as Kennetreks.  I've lost a few speed loops on mine over the years.  Something I have never seen with Kennetrek and cant even imagine seeing.  The squaw goes through boots like I can't believe.  Absolutely murders them.  Two years in Kennetrek and her boots still look like new.  Wish I could say the same thing about the Hanwags.  Both great boots though.

got about 50miles in the alaskans so far so good other than a slight pinch in the front of my ankle about 10mi into a day. not sure if it was my sock or the way i had them laced, just breaking them in, or just my ankle hurting not from the boots at all

If you have a size 13.5 hoof, Sierra has a discontinued Yukon for $240, not GoreTex.

Not in the budget for me, but I noticed Sierra Trading Post has some Hanwags for pretty good prices - you could really get a steal with the right coupon!  Several styles to choose from too.
