LOWA Lynnox: Damn Comfortable
June 24, 2024
When I slipped on a pair of the Lowa Lynnox GTX Lo, the first thing I thought was how damn comfortable they are.
Unlike a lot of technical footwear that often involve an onerous and blister-ridden break-in period, the first time I wore them felt like the 25th time. The injection molded midsole provided great stability on the uneven and pebble-laden terrain of the Grand Canyon, where I put them to the test, plus they feature a secure yet breathable and weather-resistant GORE-TEX membrane. They didn’t skimp on feel, with padding in all the right places, especially the tongue and along the sides of the feet. At 1.65 pounds per pair, they’re about on par with other shoes in this category, but it didn’t seem like you’d need to swap them out a few days into a long hike, and they can go from trail to dinner pretty well, too.
All in all, the type of shoes that you keep going back to. — Marjorie Korn, Senior Editor, Men's Journal Magazine
