Harkila Saxnas Hi GTX 9" Dark Brown Hunting Boots

Wet vegetation, muddy trails, and rocky ascents call for the right footwear. The 9" Harkila Saxnas Hi GTX combines a high-cut design with moisture protection and the cushioning needed for long hikes. This model is ideal for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who spend time in the woods and are looking for sturdy hiking boots.

Nubuck leather and protective rand

The upper is made of European nubuck leather. A rand running around the lower part of the boot protects it from abrasion and contact with sharp objects on the ground. This combination works well when navigating roots, rocks, and dense vegetation.

GORE-TEX membrane

The waterproof and breathable membrane helps keep your feet dry while walking on wet grass and in rainy weather. It also allows moisture generated during physical activity to escape.

Vibram® Sole and Cushioning

The Vibram® rubber outsole is designed for walking on varied terrain. The dual-density midsole and contoured PU foam insole support foot comfort on longer hikes.

✅ High upper—23 cm in height—provides additional support around the ankle.
