NO MATTER HOW STEEP THE MOUNTAIN IS, A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY

(Austrian proverb)

Mountain & hiking boots

The right footwear is crucial to ensure that you enjoy your tour to the summit.

Our mountain and hiking boot manufacturers Lowa, Meindl and Millet use high-quality materials for your hiking comfort. McKinley and Lowa shoes are also available for your little ones - perfectly equipped for the next tour.

Textiles such as functional trousers, shirts and jackets for all weather conditions are not the only things that matter. Hiking/trekking poles support you uphill and downhill. And with the right backpack, you have room for a drink, a snack to keep those energy levels high or a change of shirt when the going gets tough.

You can get all of this in our shop - as well as accessories such as trekking umbrellas, sun protection, caps, buffs and much more. Browse here and let us advise you in store.

Looking good

EVERYTHING ABOUT HIKING BOOTS

Functional socks

The choice of socks also depends on the shoe - whether functional or wool socks.

With X-Socks and Smartwool, we have both categories of high-quality manufacturers at your side.

Good hiking socks are padded in the exposed areas. The padding in your socks has seen its best days and the fit is a thing of the past? Our functional socks from X-Bionik and Smartwool will re-energise your feet.
Customised insoles provide even more comfort when hiking. This prevents overloading of the muscles in the event of foot misalignment.
