Hanwag Banks Low Bunion GTX

The Banks Low Bunion GTX from Hanwag is a men’s low-cut hiking shoe built for light trekking and day hikes. It’s tailored to offer a roomier fit around the forefoot, making it well suited for those with hallux valgus who don’t want to compromise on trail performance.

The combination of nubuck leather, suede and synthetic materials in the upper provides a durable yet flexible shell that adapts to varied terrain. A Gore-Tex membrane inside keeps water out while allowing moisture to escape, and the Endurance Hike outsole ensures confident grip on slippery or uneven surfaces. The low profile helps keep overall weight down, so you can cover more ground without feeling bogged down.

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable fabric laminate: rain and puddles stay out, but sweat vapor can pass through, reducing clamminess inside the shoe. The Hallux Valgus fit means extra space over the big-toe joint, easing pressure on bunions and helping prevent discomfort on longer outings.
