This model of Hanwag boot is excellent for both city and off road hikes. I also own Banks GTX model which is waterproof due to use of GoreTex lining; however the leather finished Lhasa I/II are, in my opinion, more comfortable when it comes to heat dissipation in warmer hiking zones. The Banks are great for freezing cold weather, wet muddy zones, etc. It is important to infuse a waterproofing wax onto the Lhasa Yak leather seams, and it is better to not use spray-on silicone types of waterproofing. (It seems the propellants may attack the glues that connect the Vibram sole to the midsole cushion, which is a closed cell foam-like material;silicone an soak in and encourage the Vibram sole to work loose and need re-adhesion, since the sole is resole-able solid Vibram rubber.)
