LOWA Randir GORE-TEX® Mid Hiking Shoes Men black

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.

There is the possibility of resoling.

Seams and material overlaps are avoided by using large upper parts. This reduces possible pressure points, which has a positive effect on wearing comfort.

The shoe has a medium flexural rigidity.

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.

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.
