The Hanwag Tatra Wide GTX Boot is specifically designed for people with a wider forefoot who may find traditional walking boots uncomfortable and irritating. The Tatra Wide has an extra wide toebox, with more room for the forefoot but without just widening the entire shoe like some wide fit boots do, this ensures a more anatomical and proportional fit around the heel.

The Tatra features a rubber heel and toe cap and a Vibram® sole with a deep profile, designed especially by Hanwag, allows the foot to roll exceptionally smoothly with a shock absorbing heel. The upper is made from high-quality cowhide from the Heinen Tannery in Germany, the Tanning is carried out in accordance with strict environmental guidelines and using CO2 neutral energy. On the inside, you have a graded memory insole for superior shape retention, with patented ultra-lightweight microporous expanded PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) a Gore-Tex membrane which helps regulate temperature by being breathable whilst at the same time ensuring durable waterproofing.

The Tatra Wide GTX has a super soft padded leather cuff that hugs and supports the ankle whilst you walk. There are fewer seams inside the boot to reduce the risk of pressure points and potential blisters. The advanced last construction means that when the boots are tired out you don’t have to start over, instead you can re-sole these as many times as you like. The Tatra Wide GTX features an Easy Roller system which means there are ball bearings in the lace hooks that aim to make it easier to pull the laces tighter for a more precise fit. I can’t say I noticed too much difference between using these and the traditional hooks but they look cool if nothing else.

 We had the Brown version of the Tatra Wide GTX which looked rugged and handsome with a smooth matt finish, but looks aren’t everything and comfort is what counts when you are exploring the great outdoors. We found the Tatra Wide GTX comfortable straight out of the box, they are slightly heavier than I would like but they are dry, breathable and have good traction- even on wet terrain. All in all, good value for money. RRP £200
