Lowa Zephyr GTX MID TF - Before You Buy 

Agree. Great boots. Have two pairs - high and mid. Great vids, keep it up!

RU-vid need more long term reviews like this ! Thank you !

I couldnt decide between these or the Rocky S2V... Im gonna go with the Lowa. Thanks for the review!

I have these for years now. Still no damage whatsoever. I recommend these boots!

I've been buying theses boots for many years now. They are the best hiking boots I've ever had. No break in time nessary. I use the non gore-tex boot for my desert hikes. I had to get a half inch longer boot to make it fit right.

I’m looking at these boots to help with heel pain/ plantar fasciitis for work. The reviews are excellent.

Lowa zephyr GTX Bleack the best ....very durable, they lasted me 7 years, only the sole got dull, nothing else with the seams or the material, amazing Boots👍🍀🏋‍♂️😎

Really helpfull video bro 👍

Salomon Quest 4D GTX & Salomon Forces GTX for the last 8 years, and been pretty pleased, but I had to try something new. I just bought a pair of Garmont Nemesis 6.1 GTX, and I'm impressed. I've looked at Lowa for some years, and they are probably the next one I'm buying, when the Garmont dies. Then I can come with a good comparison.

Great review!

Had Lowa Uplanders and still have the desert elites.

Horizon Explore Primaloft are the BEST socks I've ever used!! You have to try them with any kind of mid boots. I checked the materials on the Similar trekking socks that Uphill sport makes, and they are not as good as the socks I mentioned. That being said, I haven't tried them, but I'm 100 sure, that the Horizon Explore Primaloft, provide more cushioning, are more comfortable and stronger and are made with better materials. Prices are similar, the Horizon Explore Primaloft cost 2 euro more here. Thanks for the review and all the info!!!

I have two pairs of Merrel Moab 2 8inch high Tac boots. My god they are amazing the coyote and the newer "gen" of the black i have look so good. The older black color around 2010 looks a little weird. But the inside of it leaves you speechless. I will say though the older year coyote (they were made in 2010 but I got them in 2020) seems to let your feet get cold and maybe slightly wet but not wet its weird. So I will see how the black ones do.

It's very good boot for all use.

Hi folks. Thanks for posting this interesting review of the Zephyr. Could you advise as to the differences in terms of build quality, specific usage and overall quality and performance between the Zephyr and the Z8 GTX models? I'm not sure which model to buy for all-rounded back-country hunting boot between the two models. Thank you in advance.

Cool Video 👍

Super informative video! I would be very interested to know whether you can also walk in these boots in summer or whether you sweat too much in them? Keep ist up!

I personally use UnderArmor runing socks or compression socks

Hey Viper en Instinct. Ik heb van Lowa zelf al een paar wandelschoenen (de Renegade GTX mid) en ik was op jullie webshop aan het kijken om naar een iets meer "combat" style schoen te gaan. Mijn oog viel op de Lowa Z-8N GTX omdat de enkel ondersteuning bij deze schoen iets hoger is. Wat is jullie mening hierover? Raden jullie deze schoen aan? Is die extra hoogte bij de enkels noodzakelijk?

Got three pairs! One wolf grey GTX, one coyote brown GTX and one desert sand non-GTX! All fantastic boots!

Hey Guys, did you also wear them in winter and mud? How are the performing? I’m in doubt between zyphir and renegade. As I’ve seen somewhere zyphir is 3 season’s without winter and renegade for 3 season’s without summer.

I wanted these boots so bad, but even in smaller sizes i had major heel slip ;(

For the Lowa Zephyr what is the equivalent of a US size 10? I want to buy the Zephyr MK2 online but I can't get the right size, according to Lowa's size chart US size 10 should be a UK 9, however I have Salomons Quest 4D and in US size 10 but on the label says UK 9.5 so I'm confused So for the Zephyr which UK size I need to buy to get them in US size 10?

Cant decide to pick highs or mids 😮

Hey hope you are good sir. Are these boots only for military people?

Do the metal hooks bend closed when sitting in Indian position?

I have Lowa tactical

But when the shoes get wet, the Gore-Tex membranes close and then, for example, sweat can no longer escape so the shoe can no longer breathe, right?

Is this boot suitable for all surface condition for example in south east asia forest?

I own this model (black) and it has been exactly one year this month. Unfortunately, I have to contradict the description of this model: the sole slides on wet cubic stone, on wet granite, on any kind of polished and slightly wet stone, so that it no longer I mention the ice. Unfortunately, the sole started to lose from the crampons, but not because they dulled, no, they cracked and pieces of 2-5 mm started to disappear. I didn't take them for walking in the mountains , on the contrary, they were used exclusively urban and in parallel I also use some brands of boots/boots in the winter-spring seasons (Mil-Tec, Skechers, Vemont), so I did not wear them intensively in this short period. I love the model and even I was going to buy another "desert" color version, but I carefully inspected the existing model and was shocked to find the cracks on the sole and pieces missing from the studs, which is why I changed my mind and will only stick with these until they will wear out completely, because it was not worth the amount paid. I have practiced airsoft for about 5 years and I would not recommend this model for airsoft scenarios in spaces with cubic or finished stone, because the sole slides. I did not have the opportunity to test the grip on grass wet, or wet ground. The comfort of the foot and the impermeability are extraordinary.

Are these boots true to size? I noticed that Lowa has different foot length sizes compared to other brands. For example, 29cm foot is usually EU 45/UK 10/ US 11, and Lowa sizes for 29cm foot are 46 EU/ 11UK and 12US. This makes it complicated to order these boots online without trying them.

I have read reviews, that the boots are verry slippery at wett surface(Grass, rocks, etc). It was mostly one of cons of these boots. Is that true?

Is the boot flexible enough to be comfortable when you are running?

They are good right out of the box but I find them rather slippery on wet surfaces...

There are diferences between Lowa Zephyr GTX MID TF and Mk2 GTX ?

Would be good for Running climbing combat ??

Good for -15c winter?

What differences whit model innox GTX mid?

What socks 🧦 did say

These boots look/sound great do they fit as standard size or is it advisable to go up a size or half?

Hi guys, what size do you recommend, my feet's length is 265mm , all my shoes come in size 9US(sneakers, winter boots...)!? greetings from Ukraine. PS. I don't have an opportunity to try them, all military staff is out of stock in Ukraine right now!

Can u get them in full leather??

1:55 That's a weird way to say "Aglet".

The stiffness brake in period is really short due to the company putting a few thousand steps per pair using a machine at the factory. Also due to them having goretex linning they have to be tested and certified by gortex.

I just use 5.11 combat boots

Hate that europe gets more color options and the lighting makes the colors look misleading. Also sucks there isnt a jungle version with drain holes. Best boots ive ever used. Downside is the rubber wears out before the rest of the boot does. The thin mil laces (brigade quarternaster) are better than the stovk laces

yippee

Are they good for long walks ?

mid or high， which is better？

Where are you from?

Your name is Instinct?

LOWA or LALO TACTICAL BOOTS

Highs are better than mids. Don’t take chances with rolling your ankles

🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸💪💪💪🤗

Slippery as fuck when It rains and walk on concrete or rocks

I have a pair of Lowa hiking boots, and last week while hiking in Norway the soles of both boots started to fall off within 15 minutes of each other. At the end the soles were only attached at the tip of the boot. No matter what the cause of the problem, the manufacturer is responsible and ought to replace a faulty product. If they use a material (polyurethane) that is inapropriate for the purpose of hiking once or twice a year, they should not use that material. Period. Do yourself a favour and find a boot producer that does not use PU in their soles.

Can you show the boots more than your face?

soles are falling apart lowa know it and will do nothing do not buy

Prabos are better, for that money.

Had bad experience with Lowa. I will not buy them ever

What is this? Are you just reading Lowa's booklet? Wtf?

Iam using the lowa zephyr 8' in army .They are light as hell only 600g .they are ideal for hiking ,patrols , walking .I don't recommend them for winter period they are not enough waterproof ,they cannot deal with mud and snow
