The good Hanwag‘s have probably had their day 😬 ... after a few kilometers they deserve it. Hope you got home dry feet 🙊

Thorsten, that's a coincidence. This is exactly what happened to me and now I have a cold. Hope are you all right.

According to the Hanwag homepage, normal from 6-7 years. The cause is explained in detail there. With such high-priced shoes, however, a joke 👎🏻 luckily the soles only came off 50m from the front door 😅
