45NRTH's vision for the Wölvhammer transcended traditional cycling footwear and originated from the conceptual standpoint of a mountaineering boot. This inspiration remains, pulling functional elements from the original while adding style and simplicity. The lace-up design with gusseted tongue keeps wet winter weather out and warmth in. The full-grain leather and ballistic nylon shell provides a durable barrier while the waterproof membrane protects your feet from the elements.
