The Differences Between LOWA Boots For Women & Boots For Men

Many LOWA military boots for women are based on existing designs, with the visual differences often not immediately obvious to the untrained eye. Important innovations such as GORE-TEX® linings and Vibram® outsoles remain present in these alternate versions, but key adjustments have been made to cater to the minutiae of women’s feet.

Features Of LOWA Military Boots For Women

Special midsoles and insoles The midsoles in LOWA women’s military boots are specially designed to fit the sizing of women’s feet, maximising their ability to absorb the force of the ground when walking. The use of a more flexible material improves the cushioning quality of the boots, which is particularly important for women’s feet, as they are generally smaller than men’s. The insoles are made of soft foam and supple upper material, further increasing comfort.

Designed using special lasts When designing military boots and tactical boots for women, LOWA uses lasts or moulds specifically designed to reflect the anatomy of women’s feet, rather than simply adapting the existing men’s shape. Due to the differing contours of women’s feet – in particular, the fact that they usually have less volume than those of an equivalent male – the instep height and ball area of the footwear must be different, so completely new lasts are designed for new boots.

The specially padded tongue Like the midsoles and insoles, the tongues on LOWA women’s military boots are also redesigned for their specific wearers. Snugness is ensured by a layer of viscoelastic padding on the tongue, which prevents pressure points and can even adapt itself to the anatomic structure of the instep and shin with changes in body temperature. This ensures that the tongue does not move from side to side, risking pain or damage to your foot.
