One that’s sure to turn heads.
Particularly on Alpine terrain, on rock or on your way there: The Cadin II GTX MID Ws is simply an athletic jack-of-all-trades. Its multifaceted qualities are well-known and well-loved by female mountaineers. This popularity is the result not only of the boot’s welts for semi-automatic crampons, but also its Vibram® outsole. It’s simply perfect for almost any conditions you might encounter when mountaineering. Besides being functional, a mountaineering boot has to look good. The Cadin II GTX MID Ws has its own special eye-catchers, including its scree collar and its integrated embossing that creates a special mountaineering boot style.
Technical data
![2 Zone Lacing](/images/glossary/2_ZONE_LACING.jpg)
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.
![Resoleable](/images/glossary/RESOLEABLE.jpg)
There is the possibility of resoling.
![Vibram](/images/glossary/vibram_ICON_4c.jpg)
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.
![X-Lacing](/images/glossary/X_LACING.jpg)
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.
![FlexFit](/images/glossary/FlexFit.jpg)
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.

![C4-Tongue](/images/glossary/C4_TONGUE.jpg)
With this special construction of the shoe tongue, the wearing comfort is noticeably increased. For example, the tongue is thicker padded on the outside of the foot and has a soft finish at the top. This asymmetrical padding ensures optimal support in different areas of the foot. In addition, the recesses for the ankle areas are higher on the inside than on the outside, and a flexible flex insert is integrated on the inside of the foot to accommodate the anatomy of the feet.
![Moderately Stiff](/images/glossary/MODERATELY_STIFF.jpg)
The shoe has a medium flexural rigidity.
![Women Last](/images/glossary/WOMEN_LAST.jpg)
To ensure an optimal fit, the last is specially adapted to the female anatomy. The last is largely responsible for ensuring that the shoe fits well. Since women's feet have a smaller volume, the instep height and ball circumference, for example, are adjusted.
![Padded Edging](/images/glossary/PADDED_EDGING.jpg)
In women, the calf approach starts lower than in men. Therefore, the shoes with this technology are equipped with a special shaft end. This is softer and more flexible.
