Lowa Z-8N GTX C Boots - Dark Brown

The shoes are absolutely not suitable for winter conditions—going up or down in the snow is very dangerous in them (unless you’re crawling). I hope they will break in, because despite the standard insole size, they are really tight. Even after waterproofing, they leak. In my opinion, you can find better shoes for this price or go with another brand. Unfortunately, I am disappointed with the purchase. When it gets to -10°C, the shoes don’t work at all. The one advantage is that they’re easy to put on and take off, and they’re very lightweight. However, the sole is completely unsuitable for snow and probably won’t work well in the rain either.

I bought these shoes with some reservation, but after almost a month of daily use, I have to admit it was a good choice and I absolutely do not regret this purchase—the money spent was worth it. They are so comfortable you don’t even feel them on your feet, and they even passed the test at -15°C. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I share the opinions of others. This is truly one of the best Lowa models—the shoes are great. However, after receiving the Breacher model, I decided to return these because the Breacher wins in terms of ankle support and even more solid construction. Nevertheless, this model is also worth considering. As always, the shipping was fast and the return process was quick and easy.

Initially, I planned to buy cheaper shoes, but after thinking it over for a while, I ordered these and received them in perfect condition—there were no manufacturing flaws or defects. Although they look massive and heavy, they are surprisingly light and comfortable, even after several hours of use. They may feel a little tight at first, but they quickly adapt to your foot. No matter where I use them—in the city, inside a building, on a meadow, or in the forest—I don’t feel any fatigue or discomfort. I recommend them to anyone looking for high boots that provide good ankle support when walking in rough terrain. I also recommend using waterproofing products.

I considered it for a long time because of the price and also tested shoes that were half as expensive. After two weeks in the swamps I confidently give them 5 stars. For caring for the shoes, I recommend products—especially antiaqua and nubuck renovation—because thanks to them, mud hardly sticks at all. Even after stepping ankle-deep into mud, you just need to wait for the shoes to dry and the mud falls off on its own—you just need to lightly wipe them with a damp cloth. I recommend them!

The craftsmanship of the shoes is just perfect—they fit the foot perfectly. The brown color looks beautiful. Don’t hesitate even for a moment! I give them 20 stars!

They are worth their price.
