The days are getting darker and colder and it is time to make the switch to your winter kit bag before heading out into the hills. However, if your winter boots have seen better days, Hanwag is here to help. The German bootmaker is giving one lucky UKC-user the chance to win a pair of its bestselling Makra Combi GTX boots worth £230!

Available in Men's or Women's models, the Makra Combi GTX were first introduced in 2017 and combine low weight with excellent stability making them an ideal partner for demanding routes over rough or rocky terrain this winter. The boots' technical design includes a lightweight suede and Cordura® upper paired with a durable, waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex lining to keep feet dry and comfortable on intense hikes. The Cordura and mesh sections benefit from reinforced seams and a raised rand around the base of the boot protects the upper from loose rocks and scree.

Constructed on Hanwag's Alpine Wide last, the Makra Combi GTX offer a close, precise fit, yet have slightly more room around the foot for increased comfort and a reduced risk of pressure points. Compatible with semi-automatic crampons, the Makra Combi GTX are topped off with the addition of an innovative Vibram® Pepe sole which has a light yet aggressive honeycomb construction that offers excellent grip with reduced weight.
