hanwag

Founded in 1921 by Hans Wagner in Vierkirchen, Bavaria, Hanwag is a heritage footwear manufacturer revered for its uncompromising approach to technical hiking and mountaineering boots. Rooted in the shoemaking tradition of the Wagner family—Hans’s brother Lorenz founded Lowa—the brand built its reputation on the double-stitched construction method, a robust technique that ensures exceptional durability and allows boots to be resoled repeatedly. This commitment to longevity is central to the brand’s philosophy, positioning its footwear as a lifetime investment rather than a disposable commodity.
