The LOWA Professional collection has long been the gold standard when it comes to high-quality military and police footwear, combining rich tradition with modern-day innovation. At the forefront of this range of reliable footwear are the LOWA Zephyr boots. With new pairs on the way and over 20 years since the launch of the boots into the police and military sector, we thought it was only fitting that we celebrate the range and reflect on just why the LOWA Zephyr has rightfully earned its reputation as a leading choice when it comes to professional footwear.
The History Of LOWA Zephyr Boots
The LOWA Zephyr was originally created as dedicated hiking boot in 2002, combining comfort and an excellent fit with an innovative design. At an outdoor trade show in the USA in 2008, a dealership that did a lot of business with US Border Control became aware of the Zephyr model and identified that its robust and reliable nature would work perfectly in a military environment. As such, the boot was soon offered as a dedicated tactical boot in a desert colour, rapidly selling out and paving the way for further updates to create the uncompromising quality, outstanding fit and maximum functionality that the Zephyr boot is known for today. This makes the LOWA Zephyr the brand’s most successful model alongside the Lowa Renegade.
Fast forward to 2024 and a huge 1.6 million pairs have been sold in 78 countries. There are a range of different versions designed to cater for all professional needs, including the popular GORE-TEX iteration of the current Zephyr MK2 along with safety boot versions for specialist wear.
