Read the Latest Buzz on LOWA Boots:
 |  "The LOWA Baffin Pro is a long-term, low-risk investment. Testers, more accustomed to nylon than a double premium leather build, took immediately to Baffin's well-heeled luxury. Formed and sewn with armor-like integrity, fractured rock trails and messy cross-country sorties will be survived in style. For serious, off-trail, aspirations." - Active Junky, February, 2012 View the Baffin Pro: Men's, or Women's.

 "We’ve used LOWA Pinto LO for nearly a year now and it has become the official shoe of JPFreek Adventure Magazine for light hiking and walking the various trade shows we attend each year.

It may not be the 'prettiest' shoe out there, but the Lowa Pinto Lo is comfortable, durable and designed to get the job done." - JeepFreak.com, November, 2011 View the Pinto LO.

 "Lowa’s Trail Runners/ Light Hiking shoes are unabashedly old school. Note the meaty heel rise; this ain’t no Nike Free. Note the closed toe box. Vibram toe thingamagigs? Take a hike! Nope, the Lowa S-Trail isn’t a minimal feather of a trail shoe, and for trail runners like me that’s all to the good." - AdventureJournal.com, October, 2011 View the Tempest LO: Men's, or Women's.

The Tempests are great for that because they are so light yet sturdy." - Geargals.com, October, 2011 View the Tempest LO: Men's, or Women's.
 The Seven Best New Hiking Boots:
"The LOWA Baffin Pro: Think of these sturdy boots as Range Rovers for your feet: heavy (4.1 pounds) but capable. And luxurious, thanks to a glovelike leather lining." - Men's Journal Magazine, October, 2011 View the Baffin: Men's, or Women's.
 Pay Dirt:"For long distances on rough terrain, shock absorption is a must-have. The hiking experts at LOWA have taken the same technology that made their walking shoes famous and created a new line for hardcore trail runners. The S-Cope GTX® women's running shoe combines lateral stability with a perfect fit." - Women's Running Magazine, September, 2011 View the Baffin: S-Cope GTX®.
 These boots are made for stalkin'
"A top choice for ultra-steep, sheepy terrain. Gore-Tex, fatigue-reducing midsoles, Vibram Tsavo soles and an emphasis on breathability make the Hunter GTX® Extreme an all-around winner. These boots are so supportive you’ll feel like you got your ankles taped at halftime when you head out into the field." - Peterson's Hunting Magazine, September, 2011 Gear Guide View the Hunter GTX® Extreme.
 "The 10-inch Uplander GTX® from LOWA is lightweight yet rugged enough for pursuing everything from pheasants to elk. Constructed with a premium split-leather upper and waterproof Gore-Tex® lining, the Uplander will keep you dry and comfortable, regardless of weather conditions. Superior ankle stability. Easily handles rough, rocky terrain." - North American Hunter Magazine, September, 2011 View the Uplander GTX®.
 "The LOWA Tempest Lo is a carry-anything backpacking boot disguised as a light hiker," says one tester who typically humps 50-pound loads in higher cut, heavier weight boots. No other shoe tested endured this level of punishment." - Backpacker Magazine, August, 2011 View the Tempest Lo Men's, or Women's.
 "The LOWA Baltoro: top-notch materials and flawless construction. The boot designers put plenty of thought into making the Baltoro as comfortable as possible. The leather lining feels great, as it gives easily to soften the ride, but holds up remarkably well over time, and eventually conforms to your foot for a more custom fit." - Gear Institute.com, August, 2011 View the Baltoro Men's, or Women's.
 "The Lowa Mountain Expert GTX® is an alpinist’s dream — a fully-insulated, rigid-soled boot without the bulky plastic shell. Worthy of big mountains, but fits more like a heavy-duty day hiker, light enough to wear for summer peak bagging, with a generous layer of Primaloft insulation for cold expeditions. The durable split-grain leather upper has built-in flex points, which allow you to walk with a natural gait. While many mountaineering boots get hot and sweaty, even in the coldest conditions, the Mountain Experts have boot lining perforations for added breathability. Get these boots and all you’ll need is the stamina to get up the mountain." - GORP.com Gear Review, August, 2011 View the Mountain Expert GTX® - Women's, or Men's.
 "Finally! A tough hiking shoe that leaves your piggies blister-free! In all the miles I trekked in my LOWA Zephyrs I never felt any discomfort. Their GORE-TEX lining did a great job keeping my feet dry all day. If you’re planning on stomping through water, fear not! As someone who has felt the wrath of uncomfortable shoes the hard way, I know the LOWA Zephyrs are worth every penny. Your feet will thank you for it!" - Hot on the Trail.com, July, 2011 View the LOWA Zephyr GTX® Men's, or Women's.
 "Step out in style.
"Perhaps the fact that LOWA boots are handcrafted in Europe is why they're so good-looking. Looks aside, with the women's Albula GTX® there's more than meets the eye.
