Product Description:
The Tashi Boots are made with Tibetan yak leather. The chrome-free yak leather features an eco-friendly, sustainable technology used during manufacturing process. The leather is 2.2 to 2.6 millimeters thick. This leather is sourced exclusively from the Lhasa Leather Factory in Tibet.
Yaks are hardy animals that thrive in their normal 4000 meter, relatively barren landscape. The animal provides many benefits to its owners over its lifetime. Hanwag works with the indigenous tribes in the Himalayans. When the yak’s hide is tanned into leather, it has a naturally raw texture, not uniform at all. This gives each Tashi Boot a unique character.
Hanwag is German Boot handmade in Bavaria since 1911 in the small town of Jetzendorf, Hans Wagner began making hiking boots that have become one of the worlds first class Hiking Boots.
