The Alaska GTX by Hanwag is a robust hiking boot aimed at backcountry trekking and alpine routes. It’s built to handle varied terrain and keep you moving comfortably.
Constructed from durable nubuck leather with a regular-width fit, this boot offers a familiar feel while standing up to abrasion. A Gore-Tex lining seals out moisture without trapping sweat, and the Vibram Fuora outsole ensures reliable traction on rocks and muddy trails. Weighing about 1.64 kg per pair, the Alaska GTX strikes a balance between sturdiness and manageable weight.
Gore-Tex is a waterproof and breathable membrane that prevents water entry while allowing moisture to escape, helping feet stay dry during wet conditions. The Vibram Fuora sole uses a specialized rubber compound and lug pattern to enhance grip and long-term wear on uneven or slippery surfaces.

Hanwag says about the Alaska GTX
Comfortable, robust and enormously versatile – an absolute trekking classic. The Alaska GTX copes with everything from day trips to demanding hikes and week-long outdoor trekking adventures. Thanks to its GORE-TEX lining, it keeps your feet dry even in mud and rain. This significantly reduces the risk of blisters. The high upper has a one-piece construction that stabilises and protects the ankle area. Built to last: Even after many years of service the Alaska can easily be resoled ready for further use. The comfortable fit makes it the right choice for longer treks.
