Waterproof GORE-TEX Keeps Feet Dry

The Zephyr features a breathable, waterproof GORE-TEX lining that reduces hot spots (and the possibility of blisters). This helps your feet stay dry and comfortable in wet conditions.

Flexible Upper Requires No Break-In

Thanks to its flexible split leather and Cordura upper, the Zephyr requires no break-in time. The upper securely holds the foot in place to reduce strain on the toes, and the Monowrap Frame midsole technology reduces overall boot weight while providing cushioning and lateral stability. This shoe has built on gender-specific, men's and women's lasts, for optimal fit and comfort.

Climate-Control Footbed Wicks Away Moisture

A climate-control footbed keeps your feet cool, dry, and blister free. Perforations in the boot's lining allow air to circulate and wick moisture away from your foot, minimizing friction and fatigue.

Cross Outsole for Traction

The LOWA Cross outsole has a medium tread, making it ideal for pavement, smoother trails, and fitness walking. Nonslip rubber lugs provide traction on wet and dry trails.

These boots are exactly what I needed.
I broke my right ankle, had surgery and ended up breaking the same ankle a second time. Over the last 4 years it’s been a struggle to walk with my structural issues. Before injury I was hiking 5+ miles and running 3 miles after every hike on the weekends. My injuries put a complete stop to all of it. These boots have given me the ankle support I need to get back out hiking and even just walking around without the need of a cane. Feels great to finally get back to enjoying some of what I lost. Today I competed a 3 mile hike through hills full of ruts and rocks and loose sand. While the pain is still there and will always be there, the boots great support and offer great protection to my bad ankle. Without these boots I would have ended up in the hospital as my ankle would have popped out of the socket and likely been broken again. They are light weight, offer great ankle support, comfortable, and are durable. The grip is also great. It was a bit muddy out and I had zero traction issues in the dirt and on wet rocks going up and downhills. They 100% worth the money in my opinion.
