Yes. Admittedly our rock and via ferrata boots are not specifically designed for this purpose, i.e. for a high alpine or winter mountaineering, but our high alpine rock climbing boots are often used in regions which have snow and ice. Remember though, you would then need a model which is compatible with crampons. All our rock boots are designed to be used with semi-automatic crampons. If you should need these please consult an approved HANWAG dealer since there are a variety of crampons available. And don’t forget to take your boots with you so you can try everything on in the shop before buying.
Here are some rough guidelines::
Strap-on crampons: suitable for many varieties of boots with varying quality of soles (including certain trekking models).
So-called semi-automatic crampons: these are crampons with a “basket” (generally made of plastic) at the front and with a heel lever binding at the back. For this kind of crampon you need an extremely robust boot with a reinforced crampon fitting at the heel.
So called fully-automatic crampons: these are crampons which have a heel lever binding at the back and a metal bar at the front. HANWAG’s alpine boots are designed for use with these kinds of crampons.
