Although this shoe model from the German company Lowa is mainly intended for hunters, it is definitely not limited to them. However, the increased version of the Tibet GTX boots will provide the necessary stability to anyone who is going to go out into the terrain - even quite challenging ones.
The Lowa Tibet GTX HI 200 footwear is made with German precision and uses world-class technologies that we know from footwear in general. We must mention, for example, the Vibram Masai sole, which is combined with a Thinsulate thermal insulation layer, Gore-Tex Duratherm lining or PrimaLoft insulation.
Tibet GTX shoes also use Lowa's own patented technologies, which include, for example, the so-called Klima system, which actively wicks away moisture after sweating, but the asymmetrical deflection of the AWP chimney for better ergonomics and anatomical shaping of the shoe. The asymmetric C4 tongue, on the other hand, has a graded stiffness.
This shoe perfectly resists the bad weather. For example, Gore-Tex technology will keep your feet dry, as it is a reliable and permanent waterproof treatment. However, this membrane ensures high breathability in the direction from the inside. This is because it contains microscopic vents, which are significantly smaller than a drop of water, but at the same time significantly larger than evaporated moisture.
As already said, these boots are not only for hunters. Although they are excellent for hunting at high altitudes, they can also be used for alpine tourism like their lower "siblings". They are, for example, compatible with cramps, and in addition, thanks to their height and the materials used, they are highly stable.
The Tibet GTX boots, like many of Lowa's newer footwear models, are equipped with a two-zone lacing system, with each zone being adjustable separately. Thanks to this, you can precisely adapt the shoes to your feet, or set them differently for descents and differently for ascents.
The Lowa Tibet GTX HI footwear is designed to contain as few seams as possible. The upper is made of larger parts. This can make the shoes even more comfortable – together with the number of seams, the number of potential pressure points is also reduced. The material used for the upper is quality nubuck leather with a thickness of 2.6 mm.
