So I have these boots, there are a few things I wanna say before I get into the fit.
First, the gore tex version uses nubuck leather with inner gore tex lininig, so I don't think you'll need to worry about these boots breaking easily as I know the Gore Tex may worry some. The leather is top notch and not easily scuffed. The soles are great, they do slip though on some wet surfaces, so be mindful of that. The laces and lacing system are fantastic, it's very easy to tighten this boot up and experiment with different knots and whatnot to get it to stay where you want it. Overall the features you want in everyday or hiking boot are here, and it's worth every penny.
The only catch is the fit, which mine fit me just fine, but the stiffness of the leather is noticeable on my pinky toes. Not painful but it's there, and I worry for later on if my foot expands. I normally wear a US size 11, wide, but here's the catch, ignore US sizing, and go by the EU sizing of your boots, then go about a size up, to ensure you have enough room and are not bothered by the stiffness. I wore an EU size 45 in my Timberlands, for the Hanwags I think an EU size 46.5 will do, or in case you need a reference, UK 11.5, US Size 12.5.
I recommend you go get your foot measured first, and use the UK sizing for reference, and go 0.5 size up. So if you wear a 10, get a US size 11.5, just my recommendation. Also go for the Wide, they feel fantastic.

WatsyurdealYou're recommending someone go up 1.5 sizes - that makes the boot far too long and may create issues with heel fit and volume.
You need a wide boot - these are not wide. You can go up a little to accomodate this, but usually no more than 1/2 a size, maybe one full size at most. Most people buying 1.5 sizes too long will end up with a poor fit.

WatsyurdealGonna have to agree with Cheffy here. It sounds like you need a wider boot and are compensating for the narrow width of the Hanwag by going up 1.5 sizes. I've tried on this boot before and found the US sizing to be spot on. I wear a US 10.5-11 or EU44-45 in most footwear, and the Hanwag US 10.5/EU44 is the perfect size except for width. These boots run narrow but true to size. Going up 1.5 sizes is going to give a bad fit and likely lead to heel lift/heel blisters.

Just wanted to note that I looked into these too, and I think they are pretty much the same as the Lhasa's, which I commented on here, if it's of use to anyone else: (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/hanwag-lhasa-boot/talk/1705876?utm_source=linkshare&referer=NZLW9B. After looking around, it seems like the only real difference is that the Lhasa's are made out of yak leather (?!).

vvarriale66They will only accept returns if the product is defective, not if they don't fit, which has happened to me now. I am at the mercy of Hanwag to see if i can get an exchange. Thanks Massdrop for a prompt answer. Oh wait...

chazjonesThank you for your reply. I asked because I have difficult to fit feet. I do hope you get a swift resolution to your dilemma.

Do these boots come in wide. I'm very apprehensive about buying hiking footwear. Can these be returned if they do not fit? Any information is appreciated.

@vvarriale66 and @Ortep and @Rogersd902 Sorry it took a while to follow up with your post here, but if you search around Hanwag's site, you'll see that they do make the Tatra in narrow, regular, wide and bunion sizes. They have it in unlined and gore-tex versions, though I'm not sure off-hand if all size options are available in both style.

I would totally join if the Tatra Wide was available in black! But they have to be wide...and they have to be black...

CWHSGNot a shoe expert but if you had a insole that matched your foot type you should be fine I would think

Would need these H2O proof, at least Resistant. Very wet this year, and looking to be more of the same, in the southeast here. Appalachia country is a bit of a soupy mess, I have been using mostly a Nike Military issue approved AirMax (way too set to do am AirMax trail shoe/boot hiker) and have been staying daily dry. I am however starting to train for an 1123 mile section of The AT next year, and this is my boot of choice, so water and moisture control Is going to be of concern, any suggestions?
Or just stick w/ their Bee's wax product?

VaderThis is towards the top of the range in that aspect, along with other high-quality suede/leather boots, but of course they need some care to maintain their water-resistance. It's never going to be waterproof over long periods of constant use though, and eventually will get wet, and once it's wet it'll take a long time to dry out. How long it remains waterproof each time gets less and less as the boot gets older, but can be somewhat countered with good maintenance. This applies to all hiking boots of this design, solid leather, regardless of gore-tex membranes or whatever is new and fancy at the time.
Some people just stick with it and try to push this approach to its limit, while others skip this method entirely and go with something with entirely different, such as non-waterproof shoes that you actually have a chance of drying out, such as trail-runners.
