The Combat MK2 GTX model from the German company Lowa is a new generation of tactical footwear that is equipped with a comfortable polyurethane midsole or a certified ankle protection system with Poron technology.
These features make these boots suitable for both soldiers and private military contractors. They are designed for missions in mild, humid and cold climates. They provide stability to the feet of their wearers and are highly durable.
The Lowa Combat Boot MK2 GTX is a certified work boot that meets EN ISO 20347:2012 standards. Thanks to this, these boots can be used without fear in the professional field - and they will help you achieve the success of your mission, whether you are moving around the city or in impenetrable forest terrain.
This shoe is equipped with a quality sole from a global brand. The Italian manufacturer Vibram is known all over the world and is one of the most fundamental producers of soles in the world. Especially when it comes to the outdoor footwear market. At the same time, the Vibram Vanguard sole meets the highest standards that prevent slipping on wet surfaces and surfaces covered with a layer of oil. At the same time, it ensures good grip in the terrain.
The other equipment of these shoes includes a high-quality Gore-Tex Performance Comfort membrane, which is a component of another global brand. This innovative technology gives the shoe great water resistance and good breathability at the same time. This is due to the fact that the membrane structure has gaps smaller than a drop of water penetrating from the outside, but many times larger than a moisture molecule escaping from the inside.
Another benefit of the Lowa Combat Boot MK2 GTX is the two-zone lacing system, where the front part of the boot and its upper part have separately adjustable lacing zones. This is a unique solution that allows the shoe to be easily adapted to the anatomy of the wearer's foot. And it also increases comfort even during long-term wear. The boot can be simultaneously tied in different ways for ascents and descents in the terrain.
However, comfort is also increased by a smaller number of seams and at the same time overlaps within the boot. This also means reducing the number of potential pressure points that can cause sores and blisters on your feet while walking. Thanks to this solution, you will feel even better in your boots.
And one more note on the lacing system – the lace hooks on these boots have a closed design which means they guide the laces very securely and prevent snagging in demanding conditions and dynamic movement. The shoes can thus be easily used, for example, when rappelling.
These boots are made exclusively of high-quality materials, which mainly include full-grain leather, which forms the upper part of the boot. The midsole is made of polyurethane and the insole is made of approximately 90 % polyurethane, the rest is polyamide. And then of course we have the aforementioned Gore-Tex membrane and Vibram for the sole.
