Materials & Construction
Upper: Perwanger Suede Leather & GORE-TEX Invisible Fit
The upper is made of Perwanger suede leather, a premium material known for its durability, abrasion resistance, and long-term reliability in demanding outdoor environments.
A GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane is seamlessly integrated into the construction, delivering windproof and waterproof protection while maintaining breathability. The bonded membrane design reduces internal wrinkles inside the boot, improving comfort and helping minimise pressure points during long hikes.
The mid-height shaft provides additional ankle support and helps prevent dirt, small stones and splashes from entering the boot when walking on rough terrain.
Midsole: HANWAG Bead Technology
The Kaduro Mid GTX features HANWAG Bead Technology, a midsole system that combines two materials to improve hiking comfort and efficiency.
Traditional PU foam provides stability, durability and structural support, while eTPU beads add lightweight cushioning and energy return. This design 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 improves walking comfort over longer distances, making the boot well-suited to extended hikes.
Outsole: HANWAG Multifunction Grip
The custom-developed HANWAG outsole provides dependable traction across a wide variety of terrain.
A durable rubber compound, combined with a multifunction tread pattern, delivers grip on dirt paths, rocky ground, and loose surfaces. Reinforced high-impact zones improve durability and help maintain traction performance over time.
