This is already my second pair of these shoes. I bought the first pair in 2023 and wear them every day. They still look great, and signs of wear or damage are practically invisible. They have proven themselves in the desert, in winter snow, and in the mountains. They really are fantastic — comfortable and lightweight. This time I decided to get a second pair in a different colour. I definitely recommend them. Great product.

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 rate these shoes very highly. They are comfortable, sturdy, and carefully made, and their design protects the foot well. They provide good grip and do not slip easily even on uneven ground. After several weeks of wear, they still look very good. At this price, they are truly a great value.

The shoes are very sturdy, perfect for use on rough terrain, in the mountains, as well as during tactical operations and at the shooting range. So far, I haven't noticed any flaws or issues. Especially on warmer days, they're more comfortable than other models.

I am very satisfied with my purchase – the shoes pleasantly surprised me. On my first hike to Tarnica, where my daughter and I covered 12.5 km on mountainous, rocky, and slightly muddy terrain at a temperature of 26 degrees, the shoes performed excellently. Although they were new, I didn’t get any blisters or chafing, and my feet stayed dry. The shoes fit perfectly, provide great ankle support, and offer very good traction. I highly recommend them!

Before buying, I didn't quite understand why so many people choose these shoes, but once I bought them myself, I understood 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 a difference compared to other models – my feet sweat less, which greatly increases wearing comfort. I highly recommend this product.

I recently bought it, and my first impressions are very positive. Excellent material quality, design, and fit. It was perfectly comfortable even on the first wear and did not require any breaking in. I’m curious to see how it performs in the long term. If it holds up well, I think I’ll buy another pair of this model.

The Lowa Zephyr GTX MID MK2 boots in Coyote OP have already been through their first winter, and they’re waiting for the next one carefully waterproofed and stored in the box. They were also with me on trips to Śnieżka, Szrenica, and Śnieżne Kotły. In my opinion, it’s hard to find better boots; you just need to remember to waterproof them regularly!

The shoes are very comfortable and true to size. They performed great on mountain trails, so I expect they’ll serve me well at work too. They’re comfortable, the sole isn’t slippery, and they also look very good.

These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had the chance to wear. I’ve had them for over a year, and they perform excellently in all weather conditions. I use them both every day and on mountain trips, and they always work flawlessly. They are definitely worth the price!

I bought them for my son. Finally, there is a store that has large sizes. The quality is super, wonderful. I love Lowa; they are comfortable and durable. It seems that the foot can withstand more strain in them.

The shoes are really well made. I’m using them at the moment, and even on warmer days they perform without any problems. My feet don’t get tired in them, and on top of that they’re very lightweight. You just need to choose the size carefully before buying, because they run slightly smaller than standard. I usually wear a 44.5, but here a 45, or even a 46, would be better so they fit perfectly. I recommend them, even despite the price.

The shoe is very comfortable, and the sizing is accurate. I have it in green and have been using it for about 3 months for work at the shooting range. The sole is very high quality, and I can feel every object under the shoe through it. The shoe also stands out for its low weight. Compared to brands like Botas or Prabos, you can hardly feel it on your foot at all. So far, however, it is slightly slippery on wet, damp surfaces, tiles, basically everywhere except rough asphalt.

Im very pleased to say that they preform wonderful, quality is good and they fit comfortably and do not hurt after long walks, I used them in rainy and muddy conditions and they do not slip our anything and I haven’t had any wet feed so far. They preformed that good even my mother asked if they existed in a female version so I bought those for her. Conclusion, very great product, highly recommend it.

The shoes are worth the price. The size matches the description. They provide good protection for the feet and ankles even during mountain hikes. Feet do not sweat in them. I confidently give them a 5/5.
