Why we developed the KADURO LIGHT GTX
-
Did you know that?
80% of hikers on the Great Continental Trails choose trail running shoes. On long hikes like the Pacific Crest Trail, they wear out an average of five pairs of shoes.
-
The problem
This wear and tear leaves behind veritable “shoe graveyards” along the route – a visible sign of the ecological, economic and logistical problems.
-
Our solution
With the innovative KADURO LIGHT GTX, we combine the best of both worlds: the durability and robustness of classic hiking boots and the soft, responsive properties of trail running shoes.
-
Kaduro benefits
Whether you’re on an active vacation, a long-distance hike, or a day hike, the KADURO LIGHT GTX inspires with dynamic cushioning and stability. Independent laboratory tests have shown that it can also retain its comfort characteristics significantly longer than trail running models.
Upper Material: Light & Robust
The lightweight design is particularly abrasion-resistant thanks to polyester/polyurethane fabric.
Membrane: Waterproof & Breathable
The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology is extremely lightweight and makes the KADURO LIGHT GTX waterproof and breathable.
Midsole: Durable Cushioning & Energy Return
Permanently elastic E-TPU beads – the “BEADS” – and PU foam combine lasting cushioning and energy return with stability.
Outsole:
Extra Durable
The Hanwag rubber outsole with its multifunctional design is engineered for reliable grip, optimal tread distribution and maximum abrasion resistance.

What’s behind the Kaduro?
The whole story.
Our Promise:
100% MADE IN EUROPE.
HANWAG Headquarters, Germany / Vierkirchen
Since our founding in 1921, this has been the heart of HANWAG – the place where our shoes are developed and, to this day, partly manufactured and resoled.
BASF Development & Production E-TPU Beads, Germany / Lemförde
E-TPU beads from BASF ensure the long-lasting rebound effect of our midsole and gave our new HANWAG BEAD TECHNOLOGY its name.
BASF Development & Production PU, Italy / Villanova d’Asti
Polyurethane (PU) is a proven material for long-lasting sole cushioning. For the KADURO LIGHT GTX, it is produced in the highest quality by our partner BASF.
FRASSON Development & Production Sole Package, Italy / Loria
Our supplier Frasson literally shapes the two components – E-TPU beads and viscous PU – for us. The outsole, made from a special hard rubber compound, is also manufactured there and permanently bonded to the midsole.
TEXON production upper material, Italy / Prato
For the lightweight, tear- and abrasion-resistant upper of the KADURO LIGHT GTX, we use a high-quality polyester fabric from Texon – reinforced with durable PU yarns.
CONSORS HANWAG production facility, Croatia / Donje Ladanje
This is where the KADURO LIGHT GTX is completed – using state-of-the-art machinery, the sole and upper are joined at Consors. A partnership that has existed for over 30 years.

“I’m often on rough terrain – when hiking, walking the dog, and in everyday life. Comfortable, robust, and durable shoes are a must for me. And I think no other shoe compares to the Kaduro.”
