The robust LOWA Mountain GTX boots are designed especially for long backpack walks in mountainous terrain and hard-to-reach areas. The stable construction provides excellent support for the user's feet.
The upper is made of high quality full grain leather. Leather has open pores and, with proper care, will serve you for many years.
The GORE-TEX membrane guarantees an above-standard weather barrier. This technology provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what activity you are planning, you can be sure that your feet will be dry. At the same time, the boot has optimal breathability even during intense activities and temperature fluctuations. Water can not penetrate the boot and moisture created inside escapes through the pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
The VIBRAM TSAVO sole with a deep pattern will captivate the user with the good support and grip it provides on a variety of surfaces. In addition, the sole profile has self-cleaning properties. The construction of the sole combines insulation against cold and heat. It is antistatic and resistant to oil, petrol and contact heat.
The soft polyurethane (PU) midsole has very good cushioning properties and thanks to its use, the sole is light and functionally flexible.
The inside of the boot is made of a material that guarantees a comfortable fit. The fine polyester mesh regulates humidity, is easy to maintain and is breathable and non-creasing. Elastic latex foam made of a special polymer has a shape memory. As soon as body heat or pressure is applied to this foam, it quickly adapts to specific contours. This feature evenly distributes the pressure and relieves leg strain.
Thanks to a special lacing system, the front part of the foot and the upper have their own independently adjustable tightening zones. The shoe can thus be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced up in different ways according to the type of activity.
Stitches and material overlaps in the Mountain GTX boots are eliminated thanks to the use of large pieces when forming the upper. Such a construction reduces the number of pressure points and contributes to greater comfort when wearing the shoe.
The shoe is equipped with lacing hooks with an open design. They guide the laces very securely and protect them from being caught in contact with objects.
The boots are also optimized for fast rappelling from a helicopter to a so-called Fast Rope. The protected middle part of the shoe eliminates premature wear caused by rope friction. Closed hooks prevent shoes from getting caught in the rope when descending. Heel suspension reduces the force of the impact.
