HANWAG BLUERIDGE ES - Your versatile and comfortable companion

Rocky tracks, sandy dunes, mossy trails – these are the paths we follow. When we hike, we often cover a wide range of terrain What do all these paths have in common? They are part of one big system: the natural world around us.

And what does all this have to do with our new HANWAG Blueridge ES? More than ever before, we’re combining high quality, durability and comfort with innovative technical developments, such as using recycled and sustainable materials.

This has enabled us to create a shoe that uses as few resources as possible. As a result, we are reducing our impact on the ecosystem when we hike to nothing more than a few footprints in the sand.

What is the best way to save resources? And which materials are particularly sustainable? When it comes to the HANWAG Blueridge ES, we use a completely PFC-free EcoShell membrane.

This PU membrane is based on a complex, hydrophilic (water-loving) system that is both waterproof and breathable, yet uses no potentially hazardous  fluorocarbons. In addition, the textile upper fabric consists completely of recycled materials, certified according to the Global Recycling Standard.

And by the way, these materials virtually all come from European suppliers and the shoe is 100% made in Europe – short transport distances help to reduce emissions and to minimize the shoe’s environmental footprint.

The HANWAG Blueridge ES also has a further focus – it’s comfort factor. After all, to able to properly enjoy your time on the trails, you need perfectly fitting, comfortable and secure footwear. And there’s certainly no shortage of paths and trails out there!
