The boots are very sturdy and are perfect for the outdoors, mountains, as well as for tactical activities and on the shooting range. So far, I haven’t noticed any flaws or issues. Especially on warmer days, they are more comfortable than other models.
Lowa Zephyr GTX MID MK2 Boots - Coyote OP
Lowa shoes are the perfect choice for those seeking durable and lightweight tactical footwear, suitable for both urban conditions and outdoor activities.
Suede leather and Cordura
Made from a combination of durable suede leather and breathable Cordura fabric, they ensure high durability and user comfort.
Breathable and waterproof GORE-TEX membrane
Thanks to the use of the Gore-Tex membrane, the shoes provide full waterproofing while effectively wicking moisture out. This innovative technology keeps the foot dry in all weather conditions, making the shoes suitable for changing weather. The removable insole further helps maintain dryness inside the shoe.
Lowa X-TRAC Military sole, slip protection
To ensure stability in difficult terrain, the shoes are equipped with a cushioned rubber Lowa X-TRAC Military sole with a profiled tread. The sole features Slip Resistance technology, which protects against slipping on wet and greasy surfaces. This solution makes the shoes perfect for walking on uneven, slippery ground.
The Lowa Monowrap midsole provides foot support, stabilizing it and protecting it from impacts. This construction guarantees comfort during prolonged use, minimizing the risk of injury.
Ankle protection and additional foot support
The ankle stabilization system with a soft collar effectively protects against injuries, while the additional layer of material around the toes and heel, combined with the rubber outsole’s reinforced section, provides extra protection in vulnerable areas.
Quick lacing and durable eyelets
The practicality of the Zephyr MK2 model is emphasized by the low-profile metal eyelets for the laces, allowing for quick and hassle-free shoe lacing. This makes the shoes more convenient, especially in dynamic situations.

Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
X-Trac Military is a special type of outsole, which, thanks to its design and rubber construction, features anti-slip properties. It provides protection against slipping on slippery, wet and oily surfaces, while maintaining adequate grip.
Monowrap is a three-dimensional shoe sole construction technology developed by Lowa. The combination of an injection-molded polyurethane rubber frame along with an outsole and cushioning foam provides better stability and protection for the foot. The sole form absorbs shock and supports the natural movement of the foot when walking.
Slip Resistance is a technology used in the shoe's sole, which is highly slip-resistant thanks to its special design and rubber compound. It provides slip protection on slippery, wet and oily surfaces, as well as traction on varied surfaces.

I am very satisfied with my purchase – the shoes pleasantly surprised me. During my first trip to Tarnica, where I covered 12.5 km with my daughter over mountainous, rocky, and slightly muddy terrain at 26 degrees Celsius, the shoes performed excellently. Even though they were new, I didn’t experience any blisters or chafing, and my feet stayed dry. The shoes fit the foot perfectly, stabilise the ankle well, and provide very good grip. Highly recommended!

Before buying, I didn't quite understand why so many people choose these shoes, but only after I bought them myself did I understand the phenomenon. The shoes are extremely comfortable and lightweight; after a whole day of walking my feet don't feel tired at all. On warm days I also feel the difference compared to other models – my feet sweat less, which greatly increases wearing comfort. I highly recommend this product.

Previously, I had only seen these shoes on other people, but now I was able to assess their quality myself. I must admit that they are stylish, comfortable and well made. I definitely recommend them :).

Everything meets expectations: the right size, great quality, comfort, good ankle support, stability, cushioning, solid materials, and breathability, and on top of that I managed to buy them in the sale. For me, they’re fantastic. Another nice advantage is the country where these shoes are made.

These shoes are fantastic — I already own six pairs in different colours. In the Mk I version, the sole was slippery on wet surfaces, but in Mk II that issue was fixed. Despite that flaw, I still recommend the first version as well: they are shoes for year-round use, very light and barely noticeable on the foot, superbly made, and not manufactured just anywhere.

Second time purchasing these boots, previous ones lasted well and even took me up to Everest Base Camp with no blisters and without needing to be broken in

The shoes are very comfortable and well made. They hold the foot well, have a grippy sole and are suitable both for mountain hikes and longer walks. The materials are of high quality, and the shoes provide good protection against moisture and uneven terrain. The price is quite high, but in my opinion, it is compensated by the durability and comfort of use. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable trekking shoes.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! Despite their height, they are very soft, almost like slippers, and my feet breathe really well in them. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Last year I bought Zephirs and I am convinced that I will choose them again for future purchases. They are very comfortable, lightweight, and allow great airflow. However, you need to regularly take care of the leather to prevent it from drying out.

These are the most comfortable high shoes I have ever worn. I added silicone insoles from Decathlon and I am very satisfied. Even on warm days, it is clear that my feet dry well.
-
When I received my shoes, just opening the box, I was already very satisfied and when I tried them on, they were very comfortable and go perfectly with camouflage outfits like MultiCam or Woodland, for example. I tested them out in the field for a few days and they held up very well. Now, we'll see what happens over time, but I am confident. I highly recommend these shoes.

These are my first shoes from the Lowa brand. They are very well made and extremely comfortable. I have already worn them twice on trips to the forest and they performed excellently. For cleaning, I also used the Lowa impregnating spray. I am very satisfied.
