Our culture.<br />

LOWA has been building <strong>boot</strong>s in <strong>our</strong> home village of Jetzendorf, Germany, since 1923. That’s given us plenty of<br />

experience to master the art of crafting <strong>boot</strong>s that represent the pinnacle of fit and performance, and to create a<br />

culture of excellence that’s recognized world-wide.<br />

• We are still the only outdoor footwear manufacturer to be granted ISO 9001 status for the<br />

highest quality construction and process standards.<br />

<br />

• We are environmentally sensitive <strong>by</strong> culture. Our roots and <strong>our</strong> corporate basecamp are<br />

still in heart of <strong>our</strong> Bavarian village where we are literally neighbors to a herd of cows<br />

that grazes across the stream from <strong>our</strong> factory. Using recycled materials, natural light in fastidiously clean<br />

and well-ventilated working facilities, paying living wages plus benefits, biking and car-pooling to work – this<br />

is <strong>our</strong> work culture and has been for many years. It’s a way of life that grows out of the European tradition of<br />

using res<strong>our</strong>ces wisely and treating workers fairly. If you’re ever in <strong>our</strong> part of Germany, please visit<br />

us (and the cows) to see how we live and work.<br />

• We continue to build 95% of <strong>our</strong> shoes and <strong>boot</strong>s in Europe, under the world’s most stringent manufacturing,<br />

environmental and labor regulations. These clean manufacturing processes, minimal waste and fair labor<br />

practices all contribute to making extremely durable footwear that lasts on average 5-7 years, and in many cases,<br />

20 years or more. Making <strong>boot</strong>s that last longer and reduce consumption is a primary tenet of environmentalism.<br />

• We are continuously developing designs that make wearing a pair of LOWAs a great experience. From patented<br />

innovations such as <strong>our</strong> lasted Gore-Tex ® lining to <strong>our</strong> brand- new Free Flex design that we’re introducing for<br />

2011, we are committed to making the best <strong>boot</strong>s in the world. When we talk about fit, comfort and quality, these<br />

are things you can see and feel in a LOWA <strong>boot</strong>.<br />

This is what drives us.<br />

Dear <strong>Lowa</strong>:<br />

Bless you all for this wonderful footwear, especially for the inspiration; y<strong>our</strong> company is amazing. I have no questions and certainly no answers - just gratitude for<br />

the amazing influence you’ve had on me. After spending an afternoon reading about y<strong>our</strong> company, y<strong>our</strong> people, and y<strong>our</strong> mission, I can honestly tell you that you<br />

have connected with me on an emotional level. I appreciate y<strong>our</strong> soulful approach to inspiring others. It was so refreshing to read about <strong>Lowa</strong>’s environmental and<br />

socially responsible practices, and the content under the “<strong>Lowa</strong> Technical Details” was especially intriguing. Based off y<strong>our</strong> web page, and all I have read regarding<br />

<strong>Lowa</strong>, my belief in companies setting out to “do good” was certainly reinforced. I believe it’s companies like y<strong>our</strong>s that will make <strong>our</strong> world thrive and help to<br />

reaffirm the interconnectedness of humanity. If y<strong>our</strong> vision is to motivate others, you certainly have succeeded.<br />

I wanted to write you today to let you know how much I appreciate y<strong>our</strong> company. Immediately after reading about <strong>Lowa</strong>, I ventured down to my local REI and picked<br />

up a pair of Bora GTX Qc hiking <strong>boot</strong>s for my thru-hiking expedition on the Appalachian Trail, which I will be starting within the next month. I am incredibly grateful<br />

to have come across y<strong>our</strong> company, the shoes I purchased fit perfectly, the design and craftsmanship are incredible, and based of all the reviews I have read I am<br />

sure they will offer superior quality over all other <strong>boot</strong>s… not to mention, I am in love with the aesthetics of these <strong>boot</strong>s! I am so glad I will have <strong>Lowa</strong>’s on my feet<br />

for the next 6 months! To everyone involved in the movement at <strong>Lowa</strong>, y<strong>our</strong> congeniality, vision, and drive are an inspiration to us all. <strong>Lowa</strong> for life!<br />

Gratefulness is a shallow word for what I feel. Love and admiration seem cliché. Perhaps only a simple thank you will do.<br />

– John S.<br />

Just FYI, I still have a pair of <strong>Lowa</strong> hiking <strong>boot</strong>s I bought in high school,<br />

and I’m 55 years old! They did a lot of miles in the High Sierras back in<br />

the day, and I still wear them hiking the Appalachian Trail out here on<br />

the East Coast where we take day hikes with <strong>our</strong> dogs. Awesome <strong>boot</strong>s.<br />

eva<br />

Dear LOWA,<br />

All the <strong>boot</strong>s have been very impressive. Hiked all the way in with the light<br />

lowa established 1923<br />

hiking <strong>boot</strong>s.<br />

Wa ndered up through the icefall in the light mountain <strong>boot</strong>s, very quick and<br />

We believe in Polyurethane (PU)<br />

for midsoles. It’s a terrific shock<br />

absorber, rebounds well, has a long life<br />

and is durable. A PU midsole will last<br />

longer on the trail and offer better<br />

comfort throughout days and miles<br />

of use. You will get two to five times<br />

the performance life compared to<br />

molded EVA midsoles. PU, whether<br />

we cement it to the <strong>boot</strong> like on a<br />

Backpack <strong>boot</strong> or inject it as on an<br />

ATC shoe, has very little manufacturing<br />

waste and is a much cleaner<br />

product to work with.<br />

light in the ice and just warm enough to sneak through without wearing the<br />

8000 meter <strong>boot</strong>s.<br />

And the 8000 meter <strong>boot</strong>s are great - certainly the warmest and best fitting<br />

I have worn, snug in the heel, a real bonus and a first in any pair I have<br />

ever worn. And super warm, a blizzard at 24,000 foot Camp III and the<br />

ensuing descent certainly proved their worth there. Thanks.<br />

We use EVA when light weight is a<br />

primary design factor such as in the<br />

Vajolet GTX or Terek GTX. These<br />

<strong>boot</strong>s are intended for those who<br />

need to travel light and fast. Our<br />

Edge midsole is a double molded<br />

EVA where the material is more<br />

dense than a normally molded EVA<br />

midsole, with more durable and stable<br />

sidewalls. Most importantly, the<br />

surfaces are prepared for gluing using<br />

a non-toxic UV treatment and not the<br />

typical chemical bath. These midsoles<br />

are made in Italy and cost more. But,<br />

with added durability, lifespan and<br />

reduced impact, we think you will find<br />

them well worth the investment.<br />

For the Long Haul<br />

The benchmark of LOWA’s design<br />

DNA, <strong>our</strong> Backpacking <strong>boot</strong>s are for<br />

long trips with big packs over rugged<br />

terrain. These handcrafted, madein-Germany<br />

<strong>boot</strong>s are loaded with<br />

thoughtful design details such as the<br />

FlexFit System and SPS (Supination-<br />

Pronation System). The result: <strong>Boots</strong><br />

that make long distance trips easier<br />

and more comfortable, while still<br />

being incredibly stable, supportive<br />

and durable. <strong>Boots</strong> with leather<br />

linings may require a slightly longer<br />

break-in period, but will ultimately fit<br />

superbly and close to the foot.<br />

Miles of Comfortable Wandering<br />

ronan With construction gtx details similar to <strong>our</strong> Backpacking line, but ronan gtx ronan gtx<br />

more flexible underfoot, hand-crafted LOWA Trekking <strong>boot</strong>s are<br />

designed for hikers who plan to cover a lot of ground while<br />

staying mostly on-trail and carrying light to midweight packs.<br />

LOWA exclusives include <strong>our</strong> C4 Tongue, which cradles the foot<br />

in comfort and promotes a faster break-in time, as well as <strong>our</strong><br />

new FreeFlex and Fluke Technologies which promote better ankle<br />

“Quite possibly, the Trekkers are the last <strong>boot</strong>s you’ll buy. You<br />

might make it 30 years in these handmade German classics.<br />

With 2.4mm leather uppers, a full shank and a wraparound<br />

rubber rand, these <strong>boot</strong>s are built for backpacking, not mere<br />

hiking…They’re also the rare <strong>boot</strong>s that get more comfortable<br />

for years, not just for months. …a <strong>boot</strong> like the Trekker – with<br />

a full glove-leather lining and no waterproof laminate to add<br />

stiffness – will continue molding to y<strong>our</strong> foot long after the<br />

initial break-in. Which is a good reminder that there’s more to<br />

glove leather lining<br />

Only outdoor <strong>boot</strong> manufacturer granted ISO 9001 status<br />

We are one of the few <strong>boot</strong>makers that continues<br />

to use undyed soft glove leather as a lining material.<br />

We do so because many hikers and backpackers prefer<br />

the incredible custom fit, comfort and long-life that<br />

a high quality glove leather lining provides. Although it<br />

requires a longer break-in period, once it is broken-in,<br />

it forms closely to the foot and retains foot shape<br />

far better than synthetic linings. It can also absorb<br />

twice its weight in moisture <strong>by</strong> wicking sweat off the<br />

foot, making it much cooler than synthetic linings.<br />

LOWA uses soft glove leather that is 1 to 1.5 mm thick for <strong>our</strong> leather lining.<br />

Anatomically-cont<strong>our</strong>ed for a natural flex that cradles<br />

the foot in comfort and promotes a faster break-in time.<br />

A LOWA exclusive. The f<strong>our</strong> main features of the “C4”<br />

Tongue noticeably increases walking comfort:<br />

1. asymmetrical padding (thicker towards the outside of<br />

the foot)<br />

2. recessed ankle areas (inside higher than the outside)<br />

3. flexible curved inset towards the inside of the foot<br />

4. softer edging on the upper end<br />

the Camino de Santiago (the Way of Saint James), a<br />

legendary 500 mile pilgrimage route that crosses the<br />

breadth of northern Spain, culminating at Santiago de<br />

Compostela in the far-western reaches of Galicia. The<br />

new Camino GTX ® and Catalan GTX ® <strong>boot</strong>s are designed<br />

with FreeFlex and SPS-Fluke technologies to provide<br />

extraordinary comfort and stability over long distances<br />

For 2011, we are introducing a new advance in motion<br />

control, Fluke Technology<br />

TPU inserts are integrated in the PU midsole. These<br />

harder inlays support the foot in its natural roll-off<br />

motion while giving the sole more structural stability.<br />

The positioning of the TPU inlays gives additional<br />

support to the cut-away heel edge and also results in<br />

improved traction and stability when going downhill.<br />

LOWA’s FreeFlex forefoot design holds the foot<br />

closely, yet reduces the strain across the toes<br />

when the foot is flexed, especially during downhills.<br />

We achieve this exceptional comfort <strong>by</strong> using special<br />

to-the-toe lacing that allows for less pressure along<br />

the instep. We combine this lacing with a graded<br />

seam around the lacing that allows the upper<br />

material to settle lower down, thus alleviating<br />

pressure across the toes. Plus, the flex ridges in<br />

the ultra-soft underside of the tongue allow the<br />

tongue to settle in place without the laces exerting<br />

pressure on the instep.<br />

After 23 years of use my <strong>Lowa</strong> hiking <strong>boot</strong>s have finally given up the ghost... or lost<br />

their sole more specifically. I can’t be more pleased with the years of use I have<br />

received from these <strong>boot</strong>s. They have been great in all conditions and I just wanted to<br />

pass on to y<strong>our</strong> company how great a hiking <strong>boot</strong> this was.<br />

Thanks for making a great product. I received many, many years of exceptional use<br />

and will be looking to replace these with a new pair!<br />

UPDATED<br />

atc<br />

Phenomenally comfortable, supportive and versatile - in a<br />

nutshell, that’s <strong>our</strong> ATC category of day hikers and short-haul<br />

hiking <strong>boot</strong>s. Last year, we updated <strong>our</strong> best-selling family of<br />

Renegade <strong>boot</strong>s, making them lighter yet more supportive and<br />

slightly stiffer underfoot. Customers loved the updates so much<br />

that for 2011 we’ve expanded the Renegade family with new<br />

leather lined versions plus lots of colors to make a great-selling<br />

<strong>boot</strong>s even more exciting.<br />

“Don’t be fooled <strong>by</strong> its classic looks: <strong>Lowa</strong> redesigned the<br />

waterproof-breathable Renegade this year. It’s lighter, sleeker<br />

and, with the addition of a stiffer nylon shank, also more adept<br />

at handling hardier terrain. Plus, it’s even more supportive,<br />

thanks to a new midsole technology that wraps up the side<br />

of the <strong>boot</strong> to help cradle the foot. These slight tweaks made<br />

this already popular shoe so comfortable that, even the first<br />

time out – on a steep hike up New Mexico’s Pichaco Peak – <strong>our</strong><br />

testers had zero hot spots or blisters.”<br />

I’ve been wearing versions of the <strong>Lowa</strong> Renegade<br />

(Mid) for years. I hike on a daily basis, so I really<br />

go through those puppies, but they last a long time<br />

because I take care of them properly. The first time<br />

I ever tried a pair on, I thought I’d died and gone to<br />

heaven. Even y<strong>our</strong> customer service has been AMAZ-<br />

ING: one of my pairs of the Renegade II developed<br />

a squeaky, duck-like sound after about a year, and<br />

you guys just swapped them out for a new pair. You<br />

people are beautiful, and I sincerely mean that....<br />

<strong>Lowa</strong>s are the very best for men and women alike.<br />

Think about those of us that live in <strong>our</strong> <strong>Lowa</strong>s; who<br />

do miles everyday; who slip them on and get that big<br />

goofy grin on <strong>our</strong> face, because the right <strong>boot</strong> is a<br />

“happy-maker”, and we can’t wait to get <strong>our</strong> feet on<br />

the mountains.<br />

From minute 1 my world changed. It was though they were<br />

made specifically for my feet, ultra comfort. This comfort<br />

stayed with me throughout the summer.<br />

I walked over 2, 0000 miles in the summer of 2007. I<br />

sufffered some shin splints and was forced to hitch some.<br />

I made it thru Ca, Az, the S.W. corner of Utah, So. Co and<br />

into W. Kansas. From there I went to central Kansas, to<br />

Greensburg, a town that almost had been wiped out <strong>by</strong> a<br />

tornado on 5/4/07, for a few weeks and did about a hundred<br />

h<strong>our</strong>’s worth of volunteer work. I then joined another<br />

Peace group west of Peoria, Illinois and walked with them<br />

for 5 week’s thru Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia,<br />

Virginia and into Washington, D.C.<br />

The LOWA shoes were on my feet about 95% of the summer.<br />

needs of the majority of casual day<br />

collection for them.<br />

“When you’re going on a rainy-day hike<br />

you need a <strong>boot</strong> that keeps out water<br />

Its suede upper hugs y<strong>our</strong> foot like a<br />

I recently spent about two weeks looking for some new shoes that were NOT made in China or a similar country with poor treatment of<br />

people and the environment. I finally found one of y<strong>our</strong> trek shoes at a local REI store. I am very pleased with the shoe and didn’t mind<br />

paying a little bit more for the quality product made in a factory such as <strong>Lowa</strong>’s. I am glad there are still companies like <strong>Lowa</strong> in the world<br />

85+ Years of Trail-Ready Technology,<br />

Now Available in “Fast”<br />

®<br />

s-trail gtx<br />

UPDATED<br />

For 2011, we’ve expanded <strong>our</strong> family of Trail Runners to<br />

include the new S-Cruise styles which feature <strong>our</strong> proprietary<br />

Arch Fit design for stability and control. Our STG technology,<br />

found throughout the Trail Runner category, provides<br />

tenacious grip, excellent stability to weight performance and<br />

superb cushioning on uneven, rocky trails. Vibrant colors<br />

and on-trend styling are the cherry on top of LOWA’s high<br />

performance, high comfort Trail Runner designs.<br />

“I was surprised at their stability and their traction on the<br />

downhills. Was not so much the tread design, rather seemed<br />

to be more related to the stability of the underfoot platform<br />

as my foot came in contact with the ground. Very quickly<br />

distributed weight as my foot rolled from heel to toe. This<br />

gave me a tremendous sense of confidence in terms of<br />

keeping my ankles stable as the terrain changed. Good<br />

cushioning (which usually gets traded off to get this level<br />

of underfoot stability) as well. My foot was well anchored<br />

throughout the run and the fit did not change as I put miles<br />

on them. “<br />
