GORE-TEX membrane and innovative midsole

Gore-Tex membranes are years proven and you can rely on them. Just as you can rely on innovative double-layer Polyurethane midsole with LOWA Monowrap frame, which comfortably cradles the foot and support it. 

(Not only) for roping 

These Lowa boots are intended not only for roping, but if you have ever done such an activity, then you know that shoes for these special purposes require special features. For example closed hooks that prevent the footwear from getting caught in the rope during descent and also good heel cushioning to lessen the impact of landing. All these features prevent potential injury.

Unique lacing system  

Zephyr MK2 GTX MID use unique two-zone lacing system, where the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the shoe can be indi­vidually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways. 

Injected construction 

MK2 GTX MID is made by using relatively complex injection process. This injection process attaches the slip-lasted upper directly to the sole. This offers better comfort and optimal cushioning. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together.

A frame that supports the foot 

Lowa-Monowrap frame creates three-dimensional design midsole, comfortably cradles the foot and support it, especially when the wearer ventures across uneven surfaces. The tight position of the foot in the shoe means that you do not get tired easily when walking. Moreover, the midsole perfectly insulates.
