The Hanwag Waxenstein Bio is a mid-cut shoe made from chrome-free tanned leather that offers a comfortable wearing experience. The StraightFit HANWAG last concept with a newly developed toe box allows for a straight alignment of the big toe and provides more space for the toes for people with a wider forefoot. The Composole is the first fully compostable outsole for mountain and trekking shoes, featuring two different profiles for various applications.

The shoe is suitable for everyday use, leisure activities, and walks on good paths, as well as light hiking in flat terrain. Categories A to D primarily determine the stiffness of the sole, the drop (how rounded the sole is to allow for smooth rolling), and the shaft construction, which positions a model within the categories.
