Guaranteed protection against bad weather, even in the presence of high temperatures.
Guaranteed protection against bad weather in the presence of high temperatures: ZEPHYR MK2 GTX HI features a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear membrane. Innovative technology ensures maximum waterproofness and breathability.
Durable waterproofing
The membrane is waterproof, you can play it safe. No matter what the next task is: thanks to GORE-TEX technology your feet will stay pleasantly dry, that's a promise.
High breathability
The breathability of GORE-TEX shoes has been optimized, so they offer maximum comfort even during the most strenuous activities and in high temperatures. Water does not penetrate the shoes, while the vapor manages to escape from the billions of pores of the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane protects against wind and weather, so you can go on your operation in any weather.
For a correct fit
Thanks to the two-zone lacing, it is possible to adjust the laces of the forefoot and upper part of the ZEPHYR MK2 GTX HI separately. In this way it is possible to adapt the shoe to the specific anatomy of the foot and change the lacing uphill and downhill.
Outsole and upper form a unit
The sole of the ZEPHYR MK2 GTX HI is connected to the upper using a technically complex injection procedure, which guarantees effective cushioning and high wearing comfort. Then the upper part of the shoe is placed in a special mold, which is then filled with several layers of polyethylene foam. The result? A sole connected directly to the upper forming a single unit.
Lightness
polyurethane is used in this procedure. It is a very light foam.
Cushioning
polyurethane is a very light foam that has very good cushioning properties. Even if they are continuously crushed, the millions of bubbles that compose it retain their shape and always return to their original state. The result is a good rebound effect.
Declinable in many versions
thanks to the direct injection, it is possible to create very different variants of the sole. The various properties of the materials used make it possible to expand and diversify the areas of use of the shoes.
STABILITY FRAME A comfortable frame
The midsole with the LOWA MONOWRAP® frame of the ZEPHYR MK2 GTX HI ensures maximum comfort. It is a three-dimensional midsole design, which was developed by LOWA in 1995. This frame hugs the foot comfortably and supports it on uneven terrain. The sole of the models equipped with STABILITY FRAME is raised.
Good foot control
the three-dimensional design of the frame wraps the foot optimally.
More comfort
the special structure of the midsole ensures a comfortable fit. The three-dimensional frame pleasantly wraps the foot.
Lightness
the LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame is made of polyurethane, a very light material.
CLOSED HOOKS Tightly closed shoes that don't get caught.
ZEPHYR MK2 GTX HI features hooks with a closed shape that guide the laces particularly securely and prevent the shoes from getting caught in contact with objects.
LOWA® X-TRAC MILITARY soles
The sole meets the most stringent requirements in terms of resistance to slipping, which mainly depends on the design and rubber compound of the sole. The footwear offers ideal slip resistance on smooth, wet and oily surfaces but also good grip on the ground.
A sole designed by LOWA with an optimized rubber compound to offer good grip.
Midsole 100% Polyurethane (PU)
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is therefore mainly used for midsoles. Through the percentage of PU, the soles become lighter and more flexible in their function.
Insole Approx. 90% Polyurethane (PU)
Polyurethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cushioning properties and is therefore mainly used for midsoles. Through the percentage of PU, the soles become lighter and more flexible in their function.
Approx. 9% Polyamide
Polyamides are synthetic plastics that can be used for the production of synthetic fibers. In addition to high resistance, their main characteristics include the ability to maintain shape, resistance to tearing and rubbing and waterproofing. Furthermore, polyamides are elastic, very elastic and very shiny.
Outer material Approx. 65% Suede
Suede represents the lower layer of the skin and is recognized by the stringy and yielding structure that produces a soft surface with lint. Due to its rough texture, suede is particularly resistant and has very open pores. Depending on the desired look, suede can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.
Approx. 35% Cloth
The specific characteristics of our natural and synthetic fabrics allow for optimal heat and humidity management and their close-fitting structure offers products with exceptional comfort.
Lining material 100% GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear
Shoes equipped with a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Footwear membrane are permanently waterproof and are particularly suitable for high temperatures.
Functions
The two-layer midsole is injected directly onto the shoe. The layers have degrees of hardness harmonized with each other to obtain the maximum level of comfort.
The shoe is equipped with a replaceable footbed for optimal individual adaptation and, in combination with the orthopedic insoles ErgoPad® work:x and ErgoPad® work:h+ from BAUERFEIND®, is certified and approved for use as occupational footwear according to DIN EN ISO 20347:2012.
The special structure called LOWA MONOWRAP® ensures even more stability.
You can lace up the front area of the foot and the upper in ways
