LOWA Boot Spotlight: The LOWA Zephyr GTX® MID Range

About LOWA Zephyr Boots

LOWA Zephyr boots come in a range of different colours; including black, desert, wolf grey, ranger green, coyote op, and MOD brown. The coyote op and brown LOWA Zephyrs are a great option for those serving in the military, while black Zephyr boots are better suited for police and emergency service personnel. If you’re looking for the best possible combat boot for warmer climates, LOWA Zephyr desert boots would be a perfect fit. It’s important to note, however, that these boots differ from the rest of the LOWA Zephyr Mid Boot Collection as they come without a Gore-Tex® Fabric lining.

In addition to being available in a number of different colours, LOWA Zephyr boots also come in both men’s and women’s sizes. The comfort and safety of wearers is a top priority in the design of LOWA boots, and as male and females have different shaped feet, it is important for LOWA to provide the best possible fit for everybody.

The Design

The LOWA Zephyr GTX MID Range boots use a number of different materials to ensure comfort and safety, whether its wearer is a hiker or a member of the armed forces.

The GORE-TEX® lining assists in regulating the temperature of its wearer thanks to its ability to let heat and moisture escape from the boot, without letting water or wind enter the boot. This is a great feature especially for those hikers that may get caught out in the rain or have to hike through some shallow waters, but the GORE-TEX extended comfort footwear membranes also work perfectly to wear in hotter climates, with these features working in the same way.

Another feature that helps the LOWA Zephyr stand out is the tread on the LOWA Cross soles. These LOWA-exclusive soles provide excellent grip and traction on a variety of surfaces, whilst protecting the bottom of the foot. This is a big part of what makes the LOWA Zephyr boot range so incredibly versatile and perfect for a wide range of uses, whether that be hiking in the forest or walking through a city.

Construction of the LOWA Zephyr involves a slip-lasted and injected sole moulded to the boots upper, ensures that the boot is durable and keeps up with the demand of its use.

The Fit

The LOWA Zephyr boot range is recognised as a highly reviewed and lightweight tactical boot, from all branches of the Forces.

One of the features in the LOWA Zephyr range that provides outstanding support to the foot is the plastic stabilizer, which improves ankle and joint stability, and torsional rigidity. The LOWA-Exclusive MONOWRAP® sole unit also helps to reinforce the boot and provide additional traction.

The lacing system on the LOWA Zephyr GORE-TEX boots has been designed not only to provide support and the perfect fit to the wearer but also the closed hook and fabric loop helps to prevent snagging when walking through thick cover.
