When you’re travelling far away, working through difficult terrain, or spending a lot of time on your feet, your boots are your most important piece of gear. That’s why military personnel all around the world choose to put their faith in LOWA military boots.
But what really sets LOWA military boots apart from the rest? Below are five of the main technologies used within the LOWA military boots line that make them the premier options that you know and love.
LOWA Monowrap Frame Technology
Unlike other brands that rely solely on an internal shank as their source of lateral support, LOWA’S Monowrap support system surrounds the midsole in order to give additional support to the foot. As a result, LOWA military boots provide a higher level of stability when traversing uneven terrain than traditional combat boots do. At the same time, because they do not contain large amounts of metal or plastic, they remain both lightweight and flexible.
Benefits:
-
Higher levels of ankle support
-
Greater support on uneven terrain
-
Less foot fatigue after long periods
-
Lightweight yet durable design
Double Injection DuraPU Midsole Technology
LOWA military boots utilise a DuraPU polyurethane midsole in many of their designs. DuraPU provides a greater degree of cushioning than EVA foam and a longer life expectancy. For individuals who work on their feet for extended periods of time, this can lead to a significant improvement in their comfort.
Benefits:
-
Superior shock absorption
-
Cushioning lasts longer
-
Reduced fatigue in joints
-
Consistent comfort over time
GORE-TEX Performance Comfort Lining Technology
Many LOWA military boots utilise GORE-TEX Performance Comfort lining. This provides waterproof protection and allows water vapour to escape, resulting in a waterproof boot that allows sweat to be released comfortably throughout the day. If you operate in a wet climate or varying weather conditions, this balance of protection and ventilation is extremely beneficial, but GORE-TEX military boots are very popular in all kinds of environments.
Benefits:
-
Waterproof
-
Breathable
-
Helps regulate body temperature
-
Prevents excessive build-up of moisture
Vibram Slip-Resistant Outsoles
LOWA’s Vibram sole design consistently provides good grip on a variety of surfaces, including muddy woodland trails, wet concrete and rocky inclines. Many LOWA military boots are also certified for slip resistance. This gives you confidence in your stability in harsh environments and urban areas where smooth surfaces and wet areas are prevalent.
Benefits:
-
Good traction on a variety of terrains
-
Better stability on slippery surfaces
-
Durable rubber compounds
-
Good stopping power and climbing ability
LOWA RAYFLECT Technology
LOWA RAYFLECT technology was created to counteract additional heating from sunlight by using reflective pigments in the upper of the boots, thus reducing heat accumulation within the boot. It keeps the boot cooler than normal leather would when subjected to similar conditions, ultimately making them more comfortable during prolonged exposure in warm conditions.
Benefits:
-
Reduces heat accumulation from the sun
-
Keeps feet cool in hot conditions
-
Improves comfort during extended wear
-
Perfect for military operations in high-temperature environments
