Our feet take a lot of stress, and when that stress isn't properly absorbed it can cause serious pain in our ankles, knees, back and hips. Quality insoles absorb shock, evenly distribute weight and can provide arch support. LOWA Military Boots have a selection of footbeds ranging from replacement climate control footbeds, jungle/desert insoles to seasonal special insoles in a variety of colours and of course special insoles for hikers and trekkers out there.

Why LOWA Military Boots Are Also The Perfect Hiking Boots

16/03/2020

Hiking is one of the most widely accessible ways to stay fit and enjoy the outdoors. The sense of accomplishment coupled with the sights, sounds and fresh air all come together to make hiking a truly enriching experience and pastime. Having an enjoyable hiking experience can be very dependent on certain conditions though, equipment being one of them. It’s rare now that people are heading out on hikes completely unprepared, partly in thanks to the expanding popularity of hiking, but often hikers aren’t thinking about the quality of the gear they’re using and the positive, or negative, impact that can have on their hike. Hiking boots are probably the most important piece of kit to any hiker. The proper footwear can help to alleviate aches, pains, and discomfort that can accrue over a hike. ​

What Makes LOWA Boots For Women Perfect For Female Feet

07/02/2020

It may seem obvious but for a long time, the fact that men and women’s feet are different was largely ignored. From LOWA’s perspective as a boot specialist, this is an incredible thing to gloss over as there are many ways in which men and women differ physically. This is obviously apparent in the shape and size of the foot, but the way load-bearing areas tend to differ between the sexes should be another consideration. All these typical variations should be reflected in the design of footwear worn by women, particularly military, police and tactical boots, as they can be used in any number of situations where stress is placed on the foot. ​
