LOWA - Reliability for professional demands

When Lorenz Wagner laid the foundations for the company LOWA as a master shoemaker in 1923, one thing was clear to him: the satisfaction of his customers was paramount. "This still applies to us today, as we are in the tradition of our company's founder. Because it is clear: Only satisfied customers are long-term customers," says Alexander Nicolai, CEO of LOWA Sportschuhe GmbH.

When the shoes are used in a professional capacity, in physically demanding situations, this principle becomes even more important. "Women and men in their tough professions are often on their feet for many hours and weeks. Shoes play an important role in supporting the body. Maximum comfort, particularly pleasant wearing characteristics, and effective protection are top priorities in the development of our shoes in the PROFESSIONAL collection," continues Alexander Nicolai.

The development and manufacture of reliable shoes for professional use is a challenge that LOWA gladly accepts as a traditional brand. The special requirements that users place on their work equipment largely coincide with the key values that LOWA has stood for for nearly 100 years: fit, comfort, innovation, and quality. This guarantees reliability even for professional demands.

Here are the current highlights:

RENEGADE II N GTX HI and RENEGADE II GTX HI TF

For IWA 2020, two new shoes from the RENEGADE family are being introduced: the smooth leather shoe RENEGADE II GTX HI TF and the nubuck leather version RENEGADE II N GTX HI TF, specifically designed for versatile tactical use.

Both the smooth leather and nubuck leather versions shine with the same reliable basic qualities as their iconic outdoor siblings. The breathable and waterproof GORE-TEX lining ensures optimal wearing comfort year-round and efficiently and permanently keeps external moisture out. To ensure that other external influences have no chance, the upper material is made of robust full-grain or nubuck leather and the closure at the extra high shaft is bordered with Cordura. In addition, the combination of the stable and proven sole construction with the optimized sole profile of the thermally insulating LOWA® Patrol outsole meets all requirements for surefootedness and support. To maintain versatility, the sole complex of the certified model also has slip-resistant, oil and fuel resistant properties, and is resistant to contact heat.

Whether in heavy terrain outdoors or in everyday use - the versatile RENEGADE II GTX HI TF and the nubuck version RENEGADE II N GTX HI TF feel at home everywhere. To meet all requirements for fit and comfort, both models are available in many variable sizes and widths. Additionally, the all-rounders are also available as women's models. The RENEGADE II GTX HI TF Ws and the RENEGADE II N GTX HI TF Ws are made on a women's last specially designed to fit the anatomical needs of female feet.

Both the men's and women's versions are certified according to CE EN ISO 20347: 2012 and approved for use as professional shoes.

ELITE EVO N GTX and ELITE EVO N

Changing spring temperatures, summer heat, and damp and cold autumn days are especially noticeable when working outdoors. Lucky are those who don't have to worry about their footwear in these adverse conditions. With the ELITE EVO N GTX or ELITE EVO N GTX Ws, everyone is well-equipped for the next task. And if it does get warmer, both versions are available as non-GORE variants.

Those exposed to the elements outside all year round should settle for nothing less than the Elite. The ELITE EVO N GTX or ELITE EVO N GTX Ws combines ideal fit with outstanding functionality. The lightweight shoe offers maximum slip resistance in various terrains due to the mission-optimized rubber compound and tread pattern of the outsole. Its fully resoleable sole complex is equipped with thermal insulation properties for both heat and cold. Additionally, oil, fuel, or contact heat cannot harm the LOWA® Natural sole of the certified model.

To keep the climate inside the shoe balanced, the intelligently placed, large textile fabric windows in the lateral foot and shaft areas allow air to circulate inside the shoe even in summer heat. However, the shaft construction remains stable to optimal support the stressed ankle area. The integrated moisture-wicking GORE-TEX membrane also provides continuous and reliable protection against external moisture. Made of durable nubuck leather, antistatic, and equipped with a 2-zone lacing system, the ELITE EVO N GTX or ELITE EVO N GTX Ws promise excellent wearing comfort with long durability.

Light, sporty, and dynamic - the ELITE EVO N GTX feels comfortable in a variety of tasks throughout the year. However, those who venture into particularly hot areas will find the ELITE EVO N to be the optimal partner for all conditions. The non-GORE variant showcases its capabilities in particularly warm and dry environments. The membrane-less textile lining provides optimal breathability and comfort even in high-temperature areas. Like the ELITE EVO N GTX, the ELITE EVO N is also available as a model specifically crafted on a women's last, the ELITE EVO N Ws.

Both the ELITE EVO N GTX or ELITE EVO N GTX Ws as well as the ELITE EVO N or ELITE EVO N Ws are certified according to CE EN ISO 20347: 2012 and approved for use as professional shoes.

Z-8N GTX C

Wind, rain, exhaustion: The adversity of the elements in all their range is particularly noticeable during long missions. For those seeking a reliable partner with optimal support even during marching, the Z-8N GTX C or Z-8N GTX Ws C is the ideal solution.

Stability and support in all conditions are the leading features of the Z-8N GTX C. Therefore, the robust operational shoe is made with an upper material of particularly high-quality and durable buffalo leather. The medium-high shaft of the model also provides optimal support and stability for the delicate ankle area. To permanently protect tendons, muscles, and joints even during long missions, the durable PU material of the sole provides very good cushioning and tread stability through different hardness levels.

But amidst all the stability and support, the Z-8N GTX C remains a highly functional lightweight. It is perfectly tailored for use in challenging terrain and can also excel with moderate loaded marches. It receives the necessary support through the complex sole construction of the LOWA® Tactical Z-Trac® sole. The versatility of the mission-optimized rubber compound and tread pattern of the sole complex is underscored by its thermal insulation properties. The sole is also resistant to oil and fuel and is resistant to contact heat. The integrated moisture-wicking GORE-TEX membrane provides additional continuous and reliable protection from external moisture - even during sweat-inducing activities.

Antistatic, lightweight, and highly functional: The Z-8N GTX C is a reliable partner that meets all the demands of daily missions. To offer optimal support to female feet as well, the Z-8N GTX Ws C is made on a special women's last.

Both the men's and women's shoes are certified according to CE EN ISO 20347: 2012 and approved for use as professional shoes. HERE you can find the PROFESSIONAL collection by LOWA.
