A lighter weight boot designed for the person who enjoys trekking, hiking and hunting in easier country, on trail and off and with the capability to handle a little more, when needed. The slightly softer forefoot flex reduces the energy required to power through it and the associated stress without compromising stability and the ability to carry decent loads in style.

Lining: Waterproof Breathable GORE-TEX® lining to provide good conformation over the foot to reduce bunching thus providing a smooth fit, eliminating hot spots
C4 Tongue: Patented anatomical construction to cradle the foot in comfort and especially over the instep
Flexfit Synchro: Allows for more natural forward ankle flex and heel fit with improved stability
Tongue Stud/X-Lacing: Allows for better pressure distribution and centred tongue
LOWA–Flex: Patented system to allow for easier upper flex and reduced pressure transmitted down the lace stays to the forefoot – more comfort LACE to TOE provides easier flex conformation over instep and forefoot, less pressure transmitted to ball of foot = more comfort
Footbed: Balance Insole, with a breathable top layer, and slow reacting foam, delivers instant customization to the foot. This proprietary insole transports moisture away from the foot, eliminates pressure points, minimizes friction between foot and insole and reduces fatigue
Climate Control System: Perforations in the boot’s lining allow air to enter, pumping heat and moisture back out

Hi there. If you need some help deciding what boots are best for you, get in contact with us to get some professional help.
I am sadly disappointed by these boots. Make no mistake, these are amazing boots. The materials and construction are first class and they look great. Unfortunately, for my foot, the toe box is not wide enough. I tried these boots on in a store and while standing they felt amazingly comfortable. Unfortunately, when trying to walk in them my toes and ball of my foot become extremely sore; the ball of my foot burns. Surprisingly, no blisters, just this unbearable pain. I persisted for a while, thinking that the shoe would soften or my foot would get used to it, but the pain only got worse and happened sooner on each walk. I can only surmise that this is due to the shape of my foot. My foot is wider than normal, but not extra wide and most wide-fit shoes are fine. My toes, however, are very short and so, perhaps the end of my foot doesn't taper as would be the case for someone with the same length foot, but more "toe". I wish this website had a section where people could sell second-hand Lowa boots as mine are barely worn (virtually as new) and I am out $579.

Extremely Happy
I purchased these boots about a month ago and have been extremely impressed by them, my first walk was in the snow, my feet stayed warm and dry (but I was wearing waterproof socks as a precaution due to getting wet feet in previous boots).
Second hike was in one of the wettest places in Tasmania, where most of the tracks are full of water, (again with waterproof socks) and again my feet stayed warm and dry.. traction on them was a bit slippery, but they were new boots and I was still wearing them in...
My last hike was in ice and snow at Cradle Mountain, and this time I only wore my thin hiking socks and my feet were warm and dry the whole 3 days we were there with one hike we were in ankle deep water for around an hour or more, and while everyone else had wet and cold feet, I was nice and dry and happy!

Just awesome!
Key reasons for this is the awesome Vibram Apptrail sole, its lug design is self-cleaning, which means you have better grip for longer periods, the “Lowa Flex” -floating lace system makes these boats extremely comfortable and the 5mm to 3mm nylon midsole creates a solid platform to stand on and provide great support for your foot, as well as piece of mind, that when running, your steps are going to hold even in steep uneven ground. I also found wearing them with the super comfy Thorlo socks helped with wearing them in, as usually with new shoes or boots I get horrendous blisters, but even after a 2 hour walk the first time I was out in them, I had no pressure sores or blisters which were awesome. This is due to the padding the socks provide in the forefoot and heal. We've been out in the bush testing them out for 6 months now and there's no way I'm going back to that red ban tan line.
I am sadly disappointed by these boots. Make no mistake, these are amazing boots. The materials and construction are first class and they look great. Unfortunately, for my foot, the toe box is not wide enough. I tried these boots on in a store and while standing they felt amazingly comfortable. Unfortunately, when trying to walk in them my toes and ball of my foot become extremely sore; the ball of my foot burns. Surprisingly, no blisters, just this unbearable pain. I persisted for a while, thinking that the shoe would soften or my foot would get used to it, but the pain only got worse and happened sooner on each walk. I can only surmise that this is due to the shape of my foot. My foot is wider than normal, but not extra wide and most wide-fit shoes are fine. My toes, however, are very short and so, perhaps the end of my foot doesn't taper as would be the case for someone with the same length foot, but more "toe".
