Hanwag Sky GTX Paragliding Boots
When you’re launching from steep hills or landing on uneven terrain, secure footing is essential. The Hanwag Sky GTX Paragliding Boots are designed specifically for pilots who need maximum ankle support, exceptional grip, and all-day comfort.
The high-cut design helps reduce the risk of ankle injuries during take-offs and landings, while the well-cushioned midsole provides excellent comfort during long days on the hill. Whether you’re training, soaring, or flying cross-country, these boots give you the confidence to focus on your flight.
Waterproof Protection
The breathable GORE-TEX® membrane keeps your feet dry in wet grass, muddy launches, and damp mountain conditions while allowing moisture to escape. This helps keep your feet comfortable throughout the day and reduces the chance of cold, wet feet during longer flights.
Outstanding Grip
The Vibram® Mars outsole delivers excellent traction on grass, rock, loose ground, and uneven mountain terrain. Its aggressive tread pattern helps maintain secure footing during launches and while walking to take-off.
