Lowa W LOCARNO GTX QC, Eisblau - Mandarine

Womens waterproof versatile Gore-Tex® multifunctional shoe

Product description for Lowa W LOCARNO GTX QC, Eisblau - Mandarine Footwear Female

With the Locarno GTX® QC by LOWA for women, a short walk can turn into a long stroll through the city.

Hiking boots are by definition not neces­sarily suited for everyday wear. Never­theless, they are being worn more and more often in the city. What was previously considered stiff and excessive is nearly the norm in today’s urban lifestyle. The func­tional hybrid solution with a casual look is consciously heading off in a new direction, one in which it skilfully pulls off the balancing act between lifestyle and outdoor footwear. The Locarno GTX® QC by LOWA shines in every way. The reduced LOWA Monowrap® frame that optimally supports the foot and the cush­ioning mid-sole made of LOWA DynaPU® create a complete, eye-catching look.

“Lifestyle meets outdoor” – this sums up the essence of the func­tional models in the best-possible way. With its urban trend­setters, LOWA once again provides a multi­func­tional solution for all sorts of activities for users’ shoe closets – no matter whether the footwear is destined for use in the mountains or downtown.

• Gore-Tex®: Footwear equipped with a Gore-Tex® membrane is reliably waterproof, windproof and breathable
• Woman Last: To ensure perfect fit, the lasts used for female footwear 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
• Double Injection: To provide effective cushioning and improved comfort, the sole of is bonded to the upper in a technically demanding injection process. The upper boot is placed into a specially designed mould. Various layers of PU-foam padding are then poured into it. In the process, the sole and upper are bonded together
• Support Frame: With the LOWA-Monowrap® frame, the midsole provides the very best comfort. This three-dimensional midsole design was developed by LOWA in 1995. The frame comfortably cradles the foot and supports it when the shoe wearer ventures across an uneven surface. The sole design is slightly raised for shoes with a Support Frame
• Flexible: Footwear labelled “Flexible” has little rigidity. This quality supports the foot’s natural rolling properties
• LOWA DynaPU®: The midsole is the leading contributor to the footwear’s rolling properties and cushioning. This midsole is made of a specially developed plastic: LOWA DynaPU®. The special feature: It retains its restoring force even when it’s pressed together thousands of times. As a result, the finished boots will maintain their exceptional cushioning properties even after you have walked many kilometres in them
• LOWA Rubber Sole: Conceived by LOWA to meet the challenges of real-world use, the profile design of the this outsole is made from an optimised rubber compound. The result is a rubber outsole with good traction in the backcountry and off trail
• LOWA® Hybrid Trac® outsole: This self-cleaning sole is perfect for everyday use when the weather turns windy and nasty. With the help of its profile design and special tip and heel construction, it demonstrates its true strengths during ascents and descents
