LOWA Alpine EVO GORE-TEX® Hiking Boots Men lime
Product description
Mountaineers who are determined to smoothly achieve their sky-high goals need to work on themselves, first and foremost.
This is exactly why the Alpine EVO GTX has just been completely redesigned and improved in a number of very specific ways. After all, climbers who set off on demanding high-altitude tours on craggy mountainsides, ice or snow know that their footwear must be able to perform a maximum number of functions to provide the utmost level of performance throughout the entire journey. This cemented and resolable mountaineering boot has everything it takes to tackle the biggest challenges that are thrown its way: a carbon-reinforced insole, a high-quality Vibram® outsole, a waterproof GORE-TEX® membrane and partial crampon compatibility. The processed split leather enhanced with directly injected LOWA-REPTEX elements is particularly tough.
Technical data
Thanks to the two-zone lacing, the forefoot and shaft have separately adjustable lacing zones. This allows the shoe to be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced differently for going uphill and downhill.
This shoe features a Vibram sole. The Italian sole manufacturer has been one of the leading brands in the field of high-quality soles for many years.
The VIBRAM EVO relies on the proven Vibram technology: multifunctional profile design with an optimal rubber compound for hiking on a wide variety of terrains. Combined with the tried-and-tested heel profile for pleasant descents.
Specially designed part in the area of the tip of the sole for precise stepping on easy climbing sections.
The VIBRAM ALP TRAC® NUMEN performance sole is specially designed for alpine conditions. The large "climbing zone" at the tip of the sole enables precise stepping on steep rock. In addition, the arrangement of the cleats ensures that dirt is removed from the sole when walking.
There is the possibility of resoling.
Simply tighten and secure: LOWA has developed a special clamping hook to make lacing easier. This allows lacing in two zones. After the lacing has been tightened in the lower area of the shoe, the lace can be blocked with this clamping hook. By simply pushing the hook bracket upwards, the clamp releases and the instep lacing can be loosened.
Small balls in the metal loops minimize friction so that the shoelace runs flexibly and smoothly through the eyelets.
This means that the tongue sits where it belongs - without slipping or pressure points: With X-LACING® technology, this is easily possible with shoes. The special lacing fixes the tongue both vertically and horizontally. Since the lacing is independent of the individual height of the instep, this construction is ideal for every foot. With this lacing technology, the pressure of the laces is no longer only transferred to the hooks, but to the entire tongue.
If the upper of a hiking shoe can be bent slightly, the foot can roll better. This saves energy, especially when walking uphill, and ensures noticeable comfort. That's why LOWA has incorporated a flexible zone and a so-called "lace loop" in the area of the crook of the foot. This means relocating the eyelet and using a flexible deep-draw hook that improves heel fit and eases flexion.
