The shoes are extremely comfortable, and the lacing system is very practical. The sole appears to be lower than in the previous model, but it seems more durable. The grip has also improved.

Cordura
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 Membrane
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 Sole
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 Sole
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
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 have always purchased Salomon boots but I thought I would try a different brand. Unlike the Salomon boots it seems that these have a break in period. Wearing my usual socks for my first walk I started to get pain at the top of my toes just on the right side. For my second walk I doubled up on my socks and with this set up they were very comfortable I just don't know how viable this will be on very hot days. I have only walked in them for around 25 miles so far so hopefully once I get to around 100 miles I will try just wearing one pair of socks again. I did notice that in comparison to my Salomon boots they are much lighter weight so that is a big positive. Additionally I noticed that mud seems to want to fall of these, where my Salomon get caked in mud and its not until its very dry that it falls off where as these boots I could see the mud coming off with each step which ultimately means better grip. Overall I am a bit disappointed with the break in period but they seem well built and they look good so I am looking forward to using them more and I think the price is reasonable. As for sizing I like that they have .5 sizes and the 11.5 fit perfectly.

The shoes are moderately comfortable, fairly stiff, and basically have no cushioning. The insole is very thin. After swapping it for a gel insole, my foot sweats a lot. I had to go back to the original insole. The sole is made of ordinary rubber and wears out quickly (as can be seen in the picture). At this price, I expected at least a Vibram sole, which is not present here. As a result, there's no shock absorption and you have to accept that. As for water resistance – after a light dew, the shoes were already wet. On the plus side, they handle mud well, which dries off over time and falls off on its own. I also tested them in winter with merino socks – as long as they didn't get wet from dry snow after about an hour, they were warm. I obviously used the original LOWA waterproofing agents according to the manufacturer's instructions. In summary: for 850 PLN you get fashionable, low-cut shoes that develop an unpleasant odor after use, so you have to keep them in the hallway. They work best when sitting at a desk. I do not recommend buying them at this price.

Recently purchased, very comfortable - I recommend them. These are my second Low shoes, certainly not the last. I hope they will serve me for a long time. They are really lightweight and my feet don't sweat in them as much.

The shoes are great for both trekking and tactical activities. They are very comfortable right from the first use and do not require a long break-in period. The Gore-Tex membrane effectively protects against moisture, and the sole provides stability on difficult terrain. The quality of workmanship is very high – the Lowa brand is impressive.

The shoes are light, comfortable, and dynamic, which is rare for high boots. I’ve had winter Lowas for two seasons already, and I chose these for spring and fall – so far, I’m very satisfied. After unpacking, I walked 10 km without any issues with my feet or chafing, I didn’t have to break them in, they fit my foot perfectly. I use them without any additional insoles, straight out of the box.

I hesitated for a long time before buying because of the price, and I am writing this opinion after walking a bit more than 100 km in these shoes. From the moment you put them on, you can comfortably cover kilometers in the field, although it's worth waiting a moment for the impregnation agent to absorb well. I recommend buying M-tac Coolmax socks – together they make a great set. After 30-35 km in the Bieszczady Mountains, I only feel slight knee fatigue and hunger during breaks. As for the Coyote OP color, after treating with Lowa Water Stop ECO, the shade becomes noticeably darker – for comparison, before impregnation, it resembles a dry paper bag, and after using the product, it looks like a damp or wet paper bag.

The shoes provide excellent ankle support and are lighter than I expected. The waterproof membrane protects against water, so you don’t have to worry about mud. These are solid and comfortable shoes for various activities.

I bought these shoes for work in service. This is my first pair of Lowa shoes. So far, after trying them on at home, they are comfortable, although I haven’t had a chance to test them outdoors yet – they seem very promising. The materials used are of very high quality. I’ll be able to say more about their durability in a year or two, or after my next purchase. Size 44 turned out to be too loose, so I exchanged them for 43.5 – which was perfect for a 27.5 cm foot. Shipping and returns via militaria.pl were very fast and hassle-free. I recommend them!

Very good boots for when you need to walk a lot and don't want your feet to "die". They are noticeably lighter than classic heavy boots, but still provide good ankle support and stability on uneven ground. The sole is grippy, and you feel more confident walking on stones or gravel compared to most cheaper models. The GTX really helps on wet grass, in puddles, and in the rain—your feet stay dry much longer. Typical membrane nuances: with active movement in warm weather, breathability can be a bit less, so socks are half the comfort factor. Also, it's important to select a size with room for thicker socks, as your toes shouldn't be pressing at the front on descents. Overall, a very strong option for the field, mixed weather, the shooting range, and long hikes if you want comfort and reliability without extra weight.

I just received my shoes. Previously, I also ordered for a friend, and just like him, I am positively surprised by the quality and fit of the footwear. I immediately waterproofed them. I hope they will serve me for a long time because I really like them a lot.

I bought them for a friend because he asked – I had a discount, so they turned out cheaper. As soon as he unpacked them, he immediately said they are great and fit very well. We still need to see how durable they are and other things, but now I'm ordering them for myself too, because I've liked them for a long time and I want to have them!

Exceptional quality and comfort. The shoes fit perfectly to the ground and provide ankle stability, which is especially appreciated on demanding trails. Despite effective water protection, the feet remain well-ventilated. Definitely a premium product worth its price.
-
My first impressions are very positive. The shoes are extremely light, they hold the ankle well, and the lacing is well designed. At first, they seemed a bit narrow, but after two days of wearing them, they stretched out a lot and are now very comfortable. As for how durable they will be, I will find out over time, but I already recommend waterproofing them.

Exceptionally comfortable and solidly made. They provide excellent grip, solid ankle support, and a high level of comfort even during long walks. The material is breathable while effectively protecting against moisture—definitely a top-tier product.
