| GOHUNT Stiffness Scale | Tatra II GTX - Flex 3 |
| Flex 1 | Built for light and fast trekking. Think of your favorite trail running shoes, but capable of rocky demanding terrain. |
| Flex 2 | Flexible enough that they offer out of the box comfort but can handle miles of rocky terrain. Perfectly suited for mild to moderate mule deer, elk, and antelope country. |
| Flex 3 | Ideally suited for mountain hunts with moderate to steep technical terrain where more rigidity is required. Some break-in time required but will likely become your favorite do everything hunting boots. |
| Flex 4 | Best suited for hunts at or above timberline where the terrain gets steep. Flexible enough that it can handle miles of comfortable climbing but stiff enough to offer support and rigidity with a heavy pack. |
| Flex 5 | The stiffest boot options, best for alpine hunting and mountaineering. Sheep hunting, mountain goat, and the toughest of elk and deer terrain. |
HOW TO ACCURATELY MEASURE YOUR FEET TO FIND THE CORRECT BOOT SIZE
Start by collecting a few things from around your house, including a yardstick or ruler, a soft tailor’s tape or paper tape, a piece of cardboard or printer paper, and a pen.
Draw a 90° angle on the cardboard or paper using the yardstick or ruler. The lines should be long enough so that your longest toe touches the horizontal line and the widest point of your foot touches the vertical line.
Ensure that you’re wearing your hunting socks while taking these measurements. Stand on the paper or cardboard with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your full weight on both feet.
Have a second person mark where your heel and the widest part of your foot lands on the cardboard or paper. Ensure that you’re keeping the pen vertical when making your marks. Leaning the pen inward or outward against your foot will skew your measurements.
Place the edge of the tailor’s tape on the straight line and measure the widest and longest point of each foot down to 1/10th of a centimeter.
Add both length measurements together and divide them by two. This is your length measurement.
Add both width measurements together and divide them by two. This is your width measurement.
Record your measurements and refer to the GOHUNT Sizing Guide and Staff Reviews to find the right boot size for your foot profile.
GENERAL TIPS TO ENSURE YOUR NEW BOOTS FIT PROPERLY
Measure your feet with the socks you intend to wear in the field.
Measure your feet later in the day. Your feet tend to swell slightly as the day progresses.
The arch and heel of your foot should feel snug but not tight. Your heel should feel secure in the heel pocket. If your heel lifts up when you step, make sure the lacing is not too loose.
Your toes should not touch the front of the boot. You want just enough room to wiggle your toes. When you kick the toe into the floor, you should know where the front of the boot is without your toes hitting.
If you're unable to cinch the boot tight enough to prevent heel slip or it allows your toes to touch the end of the boot, you will have a hard time with a heavy pack on steep downhill descents and you’ll want to size up.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BOOTS?
Proper boot care can significantly extend the lifespan of your boots. Leather boots, in particular, need to be cared for after heavy use. If your boots are wet and covered in dirt, we recommend cleaning them. If you’re not going to clean your boots, you should still allow your boots to air dry after each use.
Remove your insoles and laces after each use. This will open up your boots and allow them to air out. Even if your boots don’t get wet, they will naturally absorb moisture from your feet, especially on multi-day trips. Insoles and laces can be hand-washed in cold water and set out to air dry.
Using a boot brush and warm water, remove the dirt from your boots. The warm water will open up the pores of the boot and allow you to thoroughly clean them.
For leather boots, you’ll want to recondition the leather after cleaning them with warm water in order for them to remain water-repellant. Applying a waterproofing agent to the damp leather will reclose the pores that were opened up during cleaning. Once you’ve reconditioned your boots, water should bead up when gently poured over the leather.
Allow your boots to air dry. Do not use a heat source to dry your boots. The heat could cause the leather to shrink or become brittle, increasing the chances of irreparable rips or creases.
Store your boots in a cool and dry place to prevent mildew. We recommend packing a newspaper in the toe box of wet boots to help absorb the moisture and maintain the boots’ shape during the drying process.
Take your boots to a knowledgeable cobbler for repairs.
WHAT SHOULD I USE TO TREAT MY NEW BOOTS?
For a general-purpose waterproofing product, the GOHUNT staff has found that Granger or Nikwax Waterproofing performs the best.
Re-apply this product as necessary or after every use in severe conditions.
Please refrain from using beeswax, animal fats, or petroleum-based products on your boots, as these products will void some manufacturer warranties.
*Please note that these products may darken the color of any leather.
WHAT IF MY BOOTS ARE GORE-TEX®?
We recommend treating the leather on your Gore-Tex® boots the same as you would on any other leather boot.
The Gore-Tex® lining creates a waterproof/breathable membrane on the inside of the boot, but leather uppers still need to be cared for.
The durable waterproofness of the Gore-Tex® membrane is not affected by leather conditioners, silicone, oil, or shoe polish.

"Great"
"I've always loved Hanwag boots and was skeptical on seeing them on sale for such a low price. I am glad I gave your company a chance because I received them with no issues at an awesome price. I would highly recommend the boots of course as they are some of the best boots made but also the company."
"This my second pair of Hanwag boots.This is a lighter version of my other pair. Will switch between both pairs.Best fitting pair of boots I have ever owned.Very well made."
"I was on the fence about getting these, because I was pretty happy with a pair of Zamberlan I have, but the 50% off sold me. Shipping was fast and the advice to go 1/2 size up worked perfectly. The boots themselves are very well made and fit great Only just started walking in them but the 2 1.5 mile walks so far have been great."
"Fit great and are comfortable but they made a crazy squeak when walking. First wore them at a TAC-ish 3d shoot and everyone around me could hear the squeak which resulted in many jokes. Finally figured out that it’s whatever rubbery finish they put on the white perforated leather at the top of the inside ankle support. When fully laced, that area rubs on the tongue leather and it sounds like the result of bad Taco Bell. I hit the white perforated leather with sand paper to remove the finish and it seems to have resolved the issue."
"These are without a doubt, the very best fitting, hiking boots I bought so far. Ive bought boots from most of the leading brands, and these definitely fit the best."
"This is my second pair of Hanwag tatra II GTX. I have never had a more comfortable boot. I have tried many boots and these are the best. I had a minor problem with my first pair they were still under warranty. I sent a warranty / repair request told them the issue and sent a picture. And they sent a new pair...no questions asked. Not only are the boots great fitting they are rugged and hold up well. I would highly recommend them. By the way I am a GO HUNT and Hanwag customer for life."
"Got these boots a little while before archery season in Pennsylvania. Did some pre season scouting to break them in. Solid sole and construction for some of the rocky and steep backwoods areas I hunt at times. Fit was a tad snug up front as expected from a European fit which again was nice on rocky terrain. However, as with every boot I've tried they began to break down by the end of one deer season. Now let me preface this by saying I am not kind to boots. 4-12 mile days scouting and hunting are the norm for me on weekends and I typically get 2-3 week day hunts in after work. I'm also not shy about what kind of weather I go out in. With that being said, I cleaned and waxed these boots a handful of times throughout the season. Gun season just closed here and we have a brief break until late season flintlock and archery. I believe I'll be trading these boots out for my muck boots during the late season. The waterproofing is starting to fail and I'm experiencing a good deal of seepage in the front of each boot. The center eyelet on the tongue got caught on a stick and bent up to a 90 degree angle and now sticks straight out. Obviously this was my fault but worth noting that it is prone to catching brush. The rubber toe rand is already beginning to separate from the leather. The tread, while very grippy when new is starting to deteriorate and traction is not great any more. Although I have plenty of room to wiggle my toes, the tighter fit doesn't seem to allow great circulation on colder hunts. Full disclosure I bought these on sale at almost half price and for what I paid I'm not hugely disappointed. I figured a bit more of a stiffer mountain hiking boot would hold up to the abuse but these will likely fail by the end of our spring turkey season. I hardly wear these boots except for hunting to try and get the most use out of them. I was hoping higher quality boots would last a couple of years. I'm not the type to bother writing reviews but I think the marketing of the pricey boot manufacturers is mostly hype. With that being said, the boots did perform very well for the bulk of the season. Traction was great and my feet and ankles were well supported by the stiffer design. This definitely made a difference when packing in my climber and a pack full of clothes for colder hunts, as well as for packing out deer. I would just expect a little more durability than a boot that is starting to break down quite a bit after one deer season."
"Boot appears well made but sizing was way off! I ordered a size for my wide size 11 foot and the size shipped felt and looked like a size 9.5. Thanks, Lee Bartlett"
"I've only got about 10 off trail miles on them, but they are comfortable and rugged. Nice boots."
