Lowa Zephyr GTX Low MK2 Shoes - Ranger Green

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!

Previously, I used Lowa brand shoes and was very satisfied. When I needed low shoes, I chose this brand again and do not regret my decision. They are solidly made from good materials, waterproof, and have a strong, non-slip sole. At first, they were a bit stiff, but after two weeks they adjusted to my feet. Walking in them, whether in the forest or city, is really satisfying. I recommend them to anyone who is undecided.

Five stars for these shoes – they are almost perfect in terms of appearance, color, lightness, and functionality. They may be stiff at first, as new shoes often are, but after breaking them in, they are very pleasant to wear. The sole does not slip on tiles or smooth surfaces, and the Gore-Tex membrane works excellently. Definitely worth recommending.

Although the price seems high, satisfaction with the purchase is certain. The sole really is non-slip. The shoes are very comfortable and safe during dynamic IPSC shooting. I tested them on a dry but dusty surface—even during sudden braking there was no slipping. I recommend them to those who are determined.

The shoes are light and very comfortable, they have good grip even on slippery, wet surfaces (tested during rain in the mountains and near reservoirs). Your foot doesn't sweat in them even in summer, they've never gotten soaked, and on top of that, they look interesting. I recommend them, though they could be cheaper!

Initially, the high price discouraged me, but the right size 48.5 was hard to find, so I decided to buy them. After a few weeks of use, I am very satisfied. At first, they seemed a bit stiff, but over time everything adjusted. I mainly use these shoes in the city.
