I do not recommend these shoes – the price is too high for the quality offered. While walking on stones, you can feel the unevenness because the sole and insole are too thin, which is a major drawback in trekking shoes. These shoes will work better for people with wide feet, but for narrow feet they will be uncomfortable due to excess looseness. I also don't like the classic lacing in this model – after tying the laces, it's unclear whether to hide them or cut them off, so I much prefer the Quicklace system. Comparing these shoes to the Lowa and Salomon Coyote models, in my opinion, Salomon is definitely better.

I am very pleased they feel great and very high quality as expected, in hot weather my feet are only warm which is nice because with my other boots my feet feel like they are in a oven, when walking over rocks I don't even feel anything and they feel very comfortable and grippy perfect for work where you stand and walk alot 10/10 would recommend.

This is my next pair of Lowa shoes, the second in the MK2 version, this time I chose the low model. I think these are the most comfortable shoes I have worn so far. With regular leather care, they are very durable and can last for years. The only downside is that the sole wears out quite quickly – with daily use, often for 15 hours a day, after about 1.5–2 years the tread in key areas gets worn.

Very comfortable and high-quality sneakers that are well suited for both everyday wear and active use in the field or outdoors. The low version gives more freedom of movement, but at the same time the foot is still well supported and stability is felt. The GTX membrane protects well from moisture, so you feel confident in the rain or on wet surfaces. The sole has excellent traction, does not slip and works well on different types of surfaces. The materials are high quality, the stitching is neat, and the shoes immediately look reliable. The black color is universal and practical. The only downside is that the price is above average, but in terms of quality, it is fully justified.

This is already my fourth pair of Lowa shoes; the second generation has definitely better traction than the previous one. I use these shoes intensively in the forest, on fields, and at shooting ranges, and I have no complaints about them. When it comes to comfort and quality, they are unbeatable for me.

The shoes are rather expensive, and it's hard to tell if they're worth the price. They seem to be well made. They fit the foot well and have attractive colors. I notice that the quality of footwear declines year by year, but this model is interesting and maybe worth trying.

After several years of using various models of Salomon Cross Hike, Speedcross, and several Merrells, I decided to try Lowa – and I was very disappointed. In my opinion, these shoes are hugely overrated – very uncomfortable, stiff, heavy, and additionally, the right shoe pressed hard at the bend near the little toes. Only after walking several dozen kilometers can you wear them without pain, but they still don't match the comfort of other trekking shoes. The sole hardly absorbs shock, so you feel every pebble or bump. Additionally, they slip on wet surfaces, both grass, mud, and asphalt, and the tread gets clogged with mud very quickly and doesn’t provide grip on hard surfaces. Even after waterproofing them with a dedicated agent, the shoes still leak, and after the first contact with wet grass, my socks were wet. My wife's shoes of the same model also leak. The only positive is that they hold the foot well, but that's something I expect from any good outdoor footwear. I do not recommend them for long walks, running, or activities on wet surfaces – they are simply impractical, and it's hard to justify the purchase. It's better to choose more comfortable and cheaper competitor models. In summary: I do not recommend these shoes if you are looking for comfort and waterproofness – choose other brands. Buying Lowa, in my opinion, is a waste of money and a source of frustration.

The shoes are comfortable, have a stylish design and attractive colors. They are very well made. I chose the shoe size based on my foot length according to the size chart. I am satisfied with the purchase.

If you plan to walk in winter or on slippery, icy paths, the grip of these shoes may be insufficient. The advantages are stability, durability, protection, and waterproofing. They also provide comfort on longer routes and with heavier loads.

The shoes are lightweight and offer comfort from the very first wear – even during the first day of use, I did not feel any foot pain. However, for winter hikes or icy trails, their grip may be too weak.

Until now I used the MID version and I liked it a lot. The low shoes are a bit different; you need to retie them more often. My pair had a lot of white marks from a marker on the left shoe, probably from manufacturing. However, it doesn't bother me, because they'll get dirty soon anyway. The Zephyrs' breathability appears mainly when you're moving.

Lowa, as always, does not disappoint – these are great, solid, and very comfortable shoes. At first, they may seem stiff, but after a while, they are really comfortable. The sizing, just like in the MK1 series, may run slightly large, so it's good to try them on before purchasing.

As usual, super-fast shipping – the shoes were delivered the next morning. They are very comfortable, made from the highest quality materials, and the size fits perfectly. I definitely recommend them! The shoes are exceptionally comfortable and durable. This is already another pair for me – both summer and winter Lowa shoes always guarantee top quality!

This is another pair of shoes from this line, this time in a shorter version. There's no need to write much because LOWA is synonymous with quality, durability, and comfort. Lightweight, great for everyday use with a military look, they also work well for hikes, especially on warmer days. And the membrane is fantastic :)

The shoes are very comfortable and light, grip wet surfaces perfectly (tested in the mountains during rain), and most importantly—they don't soak through at all, plus they look great. I recommend them, they are definitely worth the price!
