The Hanwag Banks Lady GTX is a high-cut hiking boot designed for women who spend extended time on varied trails. With its combination of materials and protective features, it aims to keep feet supported and dry during multi-day hikes.
Built from a mix of nubuck leather, suede and synthetic fabrics, these boots balance durability with a bit of give where you need it. The regular width and high ankle collar offer stable support on uneven terrain, while the Vibram Endurance Pro outsole provides reliable grip and holds up well under rough use.
The Gore-Tex membrane inside the upper acts as a waterproof barrier, keeping external moisture out while still letting sweat escape. Vibram Endurance Pro is a specialist sole material known for a good combination of abrasion resistance and traction in rocky or wet conditions. At about 1.35 kg per pair, the Banks Lady GTX stays relatively light for a boot with this level of ankle support, helping reduce fatigue on long walks.

Hanwag says about the Banks Lady GTX
The Banks is just a joy to hike in. Made from 100% finest LWG (Leather Working Group)-rated nubuck leather – a certification that guarantees not just particularly high-quality leather but also sustainable, eco-friendly leather manufacturing. The 1.5-millimetre thicker polyurethane foam wedge in the midsole gives smoother roll-off, noticeably better shock absorbency and longer lasting comfort. The Banks is intended to be used on demanding hikes in terrain ranging from lower mountain ranges to the foothills of the Alps and easier hut-to-hut trails with a lightweight pack. And the GORE-TEX lining keeps feet reliably dry.
