Lowa M ALPINE EVO GTX, Limone - Flame

Mens waterproof durable Gore-Tex® mountaineering boot

Product description for Lowa M ALPINE EVO GTX, Limone - Flame Footwear Male

The tradi­tional roots of the Alpine Evo GTX by LOWA cannot be denied. Nonetheless, the concept used in this moun­tain­eering boot has forged new paths.

It all starts at the very beginning – when you slip your feet into the boots. The elastic collar made of a soft Lycra material creates a form-fitting embrace around the leg and will prevent nettlesome pebbles from sneaking into your boots. The lacing system has been moved farther to the front, an enhancement that enables wearers to optimally adjust their laces. Addi­tional comfort is provided by the X-Lacing® system that is used to fix the foot­wear’s tongue into place and the locking hooks for a dual-zone lacing system.

Users’ feet will remain dry no matter what thanks to the waterproof Gore-Tex® lining used the boots. But the biggest highlight of all is the boot’s LOWA Reptex elements made of PU material that have been injected onto the upper. They not only take the place of the classic rubber rand, but also provide both the necessary stability and a refreshingly modern look, all whilst helping the boot shed a little weight.

The Alpine Evo GTX by LOWA is the perfect choice for the toughest terrains, thanks in part to the new Vibram® Alp Trac® Numen outsole, carbon-rein­forced midsole and robust heel and toe cap.

• Gore-Tex®: Footwear equipped with a Gore-Tex® membrane is reliably waterproof, windproof and breathable
• LOWA Reptex: In the animal kingdom, protective shells cover reptiles’ delicate skin. LOWA Reptex is inspired by this natural form of protection. The upper material of the shoe prevents damage caused by objects like sharp rocks. In comparison with rubber, the effective reinforcement reduces the total weight and increases performance on the mountain
• Flexfit®: Feet can roll more effectively if the upper of a hiking boot can be easily bent. Such a feature saves energy when the wearer climbs hills and it provides real comfort in the process. For this reason, LOWA has integrated a flexible zone and a “lace loop” into the instep area. This involves repositioning the boot’s eyelets and using a flexible lace hook that improves heel comfort and facilitates bending
• Very Stiff: Footwear labelled “Very Stiff” is particularly rigid. This means that the soles will remain firm even when subjected to stress
• 2 Zone Lacing: Thanks to the two zone lacing system, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the footwear can be individually adjusted to the foot’s anatomy
• X-Lacing®: Optimum positioning of the tongue, without any slippage or pressure points: This is what X-Lacing® technology is all about. This special lacing system secures the tongue both vertically and horizontally. As a result, the lacing system gains independence from the height of the instep, making it perfect for any type of foot. This technology ensures that the pressure of the laces is transferred not just to the hooks but to the tongue as well
• I-Lock: Just pull tight and lock in place: To simplify the job of tying footwear, LOWA has developed a special type of fastening hook. Special feature: the system holds the laces in place in two different zones. Once the laces have been pulled tight in the lower area, they can be locked in place with the help of the fastening hook. Simply pressing the hook fastener upwards releases the locking action and the instep laces can be loosened
• Close to the Ground: People who venture across Alpine terrain face many challenges. Fields of loose rocks, rocky outcrops and rough terrain place the highest demands on footwear. For this reason, LOWA developed this technology, to create a good feel on the surface. The sole is designed in such a way that the distance to the ground is kept to a bare minimum. The height minimisation throughout the entire shoe creates a natural feel during challenging tours and provides stable footing on uneven terrain
• Climbing Zone: The flat component in the front sole area facilitates easy climbs
• Semi-Automatic Crampon: “Semi-automatic crampons” are crampons for mountaineering and approach boots which have a rear welt but no front welt
• Resoleable: This shoes are designed in a way during the development phase that they can be resoled. The upper of the shoe is retained, and a new sole is added to it. This process will extend the shoe’s service life and make a strong contribution to sustainability
• Vibram® Alp Trac® Numen outsole: This performance sole is designed especially for alpine conditions. The large “climbing zone” on the sole tip enables wearers to move precisely as they manoeuvre their way up sheer rock faces. The sharp-edged stud arragement not only ensures good grip but also that any dirt that accumulates in the sole of the footwear will be shaken loose while the boot wearer is walking
