Always stay in motion. This is also a motto LOWA lives by, as the LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws clearly shows. This trekking boot specially designed with the requirements of women’s feet in mind is not only fun to look at, but is also at least as much fun to wear. This robust boot made of full-grain leather is known for much more than its design. It also includes such features as a midsole made of LOWA DynaPU®+, a VIBRAM® ROCK TRAC® EVO outsole and a processed GORE-TEX membrane. As a result, female adventurers can head out in any weather. Naturally, LOWA’s designers kept comfort in mind as well: The lacing system ensures the boot will optimally fit just about every foot form and prevent pressure points from forming. The model from the LOWA® EXPLORER series also impresses users with its low weight.
To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for the LOWA® EXPLORER II GTX MID Ws have been specially designed with the anatomy of women’s feet in mind. The last plays a key role in the ultimate fit of a boot. Women’s feet have less volume than men’s feet. As a result, the instep height and the ball area of these lasts have been altered.
The boot has a padded edging. That is, becausee women’s calves begin lower than men’s do. For this reason, the outdoor footwear that LOWA makes for women is equipped with a specially-padded edging, that is both soft and flexible.

"Tell us more about your COMPANY / PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY... "
Not many industries are so obviously linked to nature as the outdoor industry. Corporate responsibility (CR) and sustainability have therefore become increasingly important in recent years. High-quality materials and equipment, whose form and function must meet special, often very demanding usage requirements, need to be durable and robust as well as not harmful to health and the environment. And this applies not only to the end products themselves; their production should and must also take place under fair and environmentally sound conditions. All these aspects are part of the company philosophy at LOWA and have been combined into a comprehensive CR strategy. This strategy is part of a longrange process that touches on all areas of the company. The ultimate aim of this work is to gradually integrate the sustainable company philosophy into a range of subareas at the company and to transparently showcase our CR activities.

"We know there are FUN FACTS and / or a BACKSTORY! Please share!"
During the development work for this shoe, special attention was naturally paid to the requirements of women. The LOWA development team gathered extensive feedback from female customers. The team receives this feedback through test events (for example, a special women‘s test event in 2020 in Switzerland) or through feedback from retailers. The important factors here were to offer a lightweight yet comfortable trekking boot that can also be combined well with women‘s trekking outfits.
