The Makra Light GTX from the HANWAG Makra family is the agile all-rounder solution with the perfect shaft height for via ferrata and light alpine tours. Shoes designed to securely carry you over iron pegs, ladder rungs, or rocky edges must be particularly robustly constructed to withstand long-term weight loads. At the same time, they should be designed to give the wearer a good feel for the ground. To ensure that ascents and descents are comfortable, a well-cushioned base that allows for good rolling behavior is essential. However, the sporty mid-cut Makra Light GTX offers even more. It is suitable for those who enjoy the advantages of a low cut when going uphill but do not want to compromise on stabilizing security at the joints when descending. This is made possible by a special 2-zone lacing system and a mechanical clamp that allows the shaft to be easily and directly adjusted to the terrain and requirements. Unlike a conventional locking hook, the mechanical clamp reliably locks in place and cannot slip after being secured without manual intervention. This adjustment allows for a tight lacing at the ankle and a looser fixation of the upper shaft for optimal ankle mobility during ascents and climbing. When descending, the upper part can also be tightly laced above the ankle to provide stability for the joint. In addition to a flexibly adjustable shaft, the Makra Light GTX impresses with a particularly lightweight and well-cushioned midsole technology that simultaneously offers the necessary stability for challenging terrain.
