Materials & Construction
Upper — Perwanger Suede Leather & GORE-TEX Invisible Fit
The upper is made from Perwanger suede leather, a premium material widely used in mountain footwear for its durability, abrasion resistance and long-term reliability in demanding outdoor conditions.
A GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane is directly bonded to the upper construction, reducing bulk while delivering dependable waterproof protection. This design also reduces internal creasing, improving comfort and helping minimise the risk of pressure points or blisters during long hikes.
The combination of natural leather durability and lightweight membrane construction creates a shoe that balances protection, breathability and flexibility.
Midsole — HANWAG Bead Technology
The Kaduro Low Lady GTX uses HANWAG Bead Technology, an innovative midsole system that combines two materials to enhance hiking performance.
Traditional PU foam provides stability, durability and structural support, while eTPU beads contribute lightweight cushioning and energy return. This combination helps absorb impact when the foot strikes the ground and returns energy during push-off, creating a smoother and more efficient stride.
The softer cushioning also enhances walking comfort over longer distances, making the shoe well-suited to multi-hour hikes.
Outsole — HANWAG Multifunction Grip
The custom-developed HANWAG Kaduro outsole delivers reliable grip across varied outdoor terrain.
A durable rubber compound, combined with a multifunction tread pattern, provides traction on dirt paths, rocky ground, and loose surfaces. Reinforced high-impact zones improve durability, helping maintain performance even with regular use on demanding trails.
