Lowa Alpine Evo Goretex Hiking Boots

The tradi­tional roots of the ALPINE EVO GTX cannot be denied. Nonetheless, the concept used in this moun­tain­eering boot has forged new paths. It all starts at the very beginning – when you slip your feet into the boots. The elastic collar made of a soft Lycra material creates a form-fitting embrace around the leg and will prevent nettlesome pebbles from sneaking into your boots. The lacing system has been moved farther to the front, an enhancement that enables wearers to optimally adjust their laces. Addi­tional comfort is provided by the X-LACING® system that is used to fix the foot­wear’s tongue into place and the locking hooks for a dual-zone lacing system. Users’ feet will remain dry no matter what thanks to the waterproof GORE-TEX lining used the boots. But the biggest highlight of all is the boot’s LOWA-REPTEX elements made of PU material that have been injected onto the upper. They not only take the place of the classic rubber rand, but also provide both the necessary stability and a refreshingly modern look, all whilst helping the boot shed a little weight. The ALPINE EVO GTX is the perfect choice for the toughest terrains, thanks in part to the new VIBRAM®-ALP-TRAC®-NUMEN outsole, carbon-rein­forced midsole and robust heel and toe cap.

– Weight: 1520 g

Vibram®:
– The LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws comes equipped with a Vibram® sole. The Italian sole manu­facturer has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years.

– The VIBRAM® ROCK TRAC® EVO shows off its strengths on versatile terrains: Good grip, the Vibram® Megagrip rubber compound and the special triangular profile design provide optimal comfort.

GORE-TEX:
– Guar­anteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative tech­nology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breath­ability.

Permanently waterproof:
– The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX tech­nology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.

High breath­ability:
– Designed with optimal breath­ability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.

Windproof:
– The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.

LOWA DYNAPU®+:
– LOWA DynaPU®+ is used in the LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws. This is a specially developed foam padding used in the midsole of footwear. It plays a key role in the rolling prop­erties and the cush­ioning of the footwear. The new LOWA DynaPU®+ offers even better recovery behaviour thanks to its special cell structure. This, in turn, creates an improved rebound effect for athletes. Even with constant use, the recovery behaviour does not lose any of its high performance qualities.

Good rebound effect:
– The plastic called poly­urethane is a foam padding that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties. The plastic retains its form and springs back to its original condition even when its millions of tiny bubbles are frequently pressed together. This, in turn, creates a good rebound effect.

Good comfort:
– The special material devel­opment is char­ac­terised by good cush­ioning prop­erties. As a result, walking comfort and rolling prop­erties have been noticeably increased – even during long hikes.

Light­weight:
– The plastic called poly­urethane is a very light­weight foam padding. The result is a sole that offers the best form of comfort.
