Hanwag

Hanwag at Behind The Pines Amsterdam

Hanwag has been building hiking and mountain footwear in Bavaria since 1921. Based in Vierkirchen near Munich, the brand combines traditional shoemaking with technical construction and a serious focus on fit. That is exactly why Hanwag makes sense at Behind The Pines: footwear chosen for how it fits, where you use it and how it performs once the kilometres start adding up.

Built around fit, support and long days outside

A good hiking shoe starts with the last. Hanwag is known for developing different lasts for different foot shapes, allowing support to come from the shape and construction of the shoe rather than simply making everything stiffer. That becomes important on long days, uneven ground and routes where comfort matters just as much as grip and stability.

Within our Hanwag selection, choose by how you actually plan to use the footwear. Lighter models make sense for day hikes, travel and mixed everyday use, while more supportive constructions are better suited to rougher terrain and longer days carrying a pack. When wet weather is part of the plan, a weather-protected option can make the difference between a good day outside and a very long one.

Why Hanwag at Behind The Pines?

We choose footwear for real use, not for a specification sheet. Hanwag sits on the more considered end of hiking footwear: experienced construction, purposeful materials and a fit story that genuinely matters once the kilometres add up. If you are unsure about size, foot volume or how much support you actually need, visit us in Amsterdam or get in touch. And if you come in to try a pair, bring the socks you actually hike in.
