Women are different, so are men. And trekkingboots for women have to be different from those made for men: the foot anatomy and the calves differ from men’s anatomy.

The Hanwag ATLAS LADY GTX was their favourite and is highly recommended by the testers.

Approach GTX achieved the highest score in a test of German ‘Outdoor’ magazine
Our brandnew Approach GTX achieved the highest score in a test of German ‘Outdoor’ magazine (April 2008). The testers concluded: “Very good”. The Approach GTX is designed for fast and light mountain sports and features a stiff sole with a climbing zone at the tip for great friction. This makes it a perfect “approach” shoe (telling name...): It is not a multi-purpose outdoor boot, but a specialist for rocky terrain. Nevertheless, the ‘Outdoor’ magazine proved enthusiastic about this boot.
