Based in Munich, Germany, Lowa boots are the culmination of 80+ years of boot-making and boot-wearing experience in the craggy, snow-swept heights of the Bavarian Alps - an environment where a quality pair of boots has always been essential.

Each pair of Lowa boots is crafted in Europe, by artisans who have passed the skill of their craft down from generation to generation. And scores of mountaineers, climbers, and hikers have helped the designers at Lowa to develop new construction techniques and technical innovations that perform in the challenging, and often extreme, conditions of the real world. From a special rigid outsole that can kick footholds in solid ice, to a patented tongue design that reduces bulk and increases flex, to a built-in climate control system that virtually eliminates hot spots and blisters, innovative Lowa details can make the difference between a successful adventure and near-disaster.

Lowa boots have taken courageous men and women to some of the world's most demanding summits. Lowa boots have trekked through exotic locations in distant parts of the globe, scrambled up the rocky sides of mountains, hiked far off the beaten path, and strolled down the street for a latte. Whatever your passion - mountaineering, backpacking, trekking, day hiking, or walking - Lowa has the shoe or boot for you.
