Planika Mangart AVS Lady Air Tex

• AVS ventilation system: Planika’s AVS construction channels air between the upper and lining, helping the boot manage moisture and dry faster inside after demanding hikes or wet-weather use.
• Air Tex membrane: The breathable membrane helps keep water out while allowing heat and moisture to escape, which supports comfort on long walks in changing mountain conditions.
• Water-repellent nubuck upper: The nubuck leather upper adds structure and abrasion resistance while its water-repellent treatment helps the boot cope with damp trails, grass and light surface moisture.
• Vibram outsole with no-slip profile: The grippy sole is built for more secure footing on uneven ground, giving better confidence on rocky paths, forest tracks and mixed terrain.
• Women’s mid-cut design: The mid-cut format balances ankle support, walking comfort and freedom of movement, making it well suited to day hikes and longer trekking routes.

About the Mangart Series

The Planika Mangart series sits in the brand’s trekking range as a line of hiking boots built for users who need dependable support, weather protection and walking comfort on demanding terrain. Within Planika’s mountain-oriented footwear offering, the Mangart models are aimed at hikers who move beyond easy paths and want a boot that can handle longer routes, rough ground and variable conditions without becoming overly heavy or rigid.

A defining feature of the series is the use of AVS air ventilation, a Planika technology developed to improve the climate inside the boot by moving air between the upper and lining. Combined with the Air Tex membrane, this gives the Mangart family a practical balance of water resistance and breathability for active use. The series also relies on durable leather uppers and Vibram outsoles, reflecting a design philosophy focused on traction, stability and long-term wear rather than minimal weight alone. In use, Mangart boots are intended for trekking, hill walking and mountain hiking where secure footing, supportive construction and controlled moisture management matter throughout the day.

About the Planika Mangart AVS Lady Air Tex

The Planika Mangart AVS Lady Air Tex is a women’s mid-cut hiking boot designed for trekking routes where terrain, weather and walking time can change quickly. Its women-specific format is intended to provide a supportive feel without the bulk of a full high-cut mountain boot, making it a practical choice for day hikes, hut-to-hut walking and longer outings on mixed ground. At 665.00 g, it aims to keep enough structure for stability while remaining manageable over distance.

The upper uses water-repellent nubuck, which gives the boot a solid, protective feel and better resistance to abrasion than lighter textile constructions. Inside, the Air Tex Polyurethane Membrane helps the boot deal with wet grass, shallow surface moisture and unsettled weather while still allowing internal moisture to escape during sustained walking. What sets this model apart within the range is the addition of AVS ventilation, which improves airflow between the upper and lining. In practical use, that helps reduce the clammy feeling that can build up during long climbs and also supports faster drying after the boot has been used in wet conditions.

Underfoot, the Vibram outsole with no slip profile is chosen for dependable grip on loose paths, rocky sections and forest terrain. The mid-cut height adds ankle support and a more secure feel on uneven ground, while still allowing natural stride movement. Altogether, this model is built for hikers who want a leather trekking boot with balanced support, weather protection and internal climate control.

About Planika

Planika began operating in 1953 after the merger of a shoe business in Kranj and a footwear factory in Ljubljana. The company’s administration and production are based in Turnišče, Slovenia, and its focus is on developing and manufacturing trekking, hiking and protective footwear. Within its own range, Planika is known for the Planika Trekking and Planika Protect lines, which reflect its emphasis on outdoor use and work-oriented durability.

For hiking footwear in particular, Planika is closely associated with practical in-house technologies such as the AIR-TEX waterproof, breathable membrane and the AVS ventilation system, which channels air between the upper and lining to improve internal comfort. These details show a design approach centered on real walking conditions: moisture management, support, traction and durable materials rather than fashion-led construction.
