Hanwag Kofel Mid Boot

Since 1921, Hanwag has crafted top-quality outdoor footwear from its headquarters near Munich, Germany—and the new Kofel Mid shows this heritage in every sturdy, handsome detail. With double-stitched construction, a leather-reinforced heel cap, and a wedge sole for added grip and stability, this mid-cut boot is ready to accompany you on any trek. And should you prefer the city streets to the backcountry, rest assured the Kofel’s classic design—complete with a derby cut, suede upper, and chrome-free leather lining—is just as well suited for everyday use. The boot’s cemented construction makes it easy to resole, so you can tread confidently wherever you go.

Named for its founder, Hans Wagner, Hanwag brings traditional craftsmanship and sophisticated technical expertise to every pair of boots in its product line. Made with materials sourced exclusively from European suppliers, the uppers, lining, and reinforcements are prepared using simple, hand-operated machinery before they are double-stitched. The craftsmen then use special techniques to reduce the number of seams, which minimizes rubbing and pressure points, and enhance air circulation for greater walking comfort.
