What is the Tatra Light Bunion GTX?
It's finally here! A solution to outdoor adventures with bunions. The Tatra Light Bunion GTX are waterproof hiking boots that provide all the functions you need with an adapted, ergonomic shape to fit around hallux valgus. They provide ultimate comfort and stability for adventures in rugged environments.
What are they made of?
The upper is made of suede which is durable yet supple enough to provide a good amount of flexibility straight out of the box.
The Gore-Tex® membrane and lining offer maximum waterproof protection, making these boots suitable for any weather. Gore-Tex® also provides a high level of breathability, so even if you're working up a sweat, it'll help to keep your feet fresh and dry throughout the day.
The outer sole has a TPU shank to promote torsional stability from the heel to the middle of the foot, and lightweight PU cushioning to help absorb impact, increasing underfoot comfort.
What are their features?
These boots are made with an innovative LFX (Lateral Flex) construction that promotes flexion and helps to protect the joints.
The Integral Light sole has a lower stack height to keep your feet closer to the ground for more balance and stability.
3D PrismBase technology in the outsole uses a specialised rubber base structure, designed almost like a prism, to reduce the overall weight by up to 32%! It has a light but aggressive tread that guarantees fantastic grip on various types of terrain, made with a tried-and-tested Vibram® rubber compound.
The cuffs come up a little lower on the ankle to provide better stability, yet still offer exceptional cushioning and support for moving over uneven ground and tricky terrain.
As previously mentioned, these boots are a bunion fit, meaning they are explicitly shaped for those with hallux valgus feet. The shape provides additional room at the ball of the foot and the forefoot, so you can wave goodbye to missing out on big adventures due to ill-fitting boots.

- Modern and extremely functional cuff design with flexing Hanwag LFX technology that protects the joints
- Stable, cushioning Hanwag Integral Light sole construction
- Special tread with 3D PrismBase technology for a very lightweight design
