 "Lowa’s Trail Runners/ Light Hiking shoes are unabashedly old school. Note the meaty heel rise; this ain’t no Nike Free. Note the closed toe box. Vibram toe thingamagigs? Take a hike! Nope, the Lowa S-Trail isn’t a minimal feather of a trail shoe, and for trail runners like me that’s all to the good." - AdventureJournal.com, October, 2011
 "Count on Lowa for tough, solid, well-constructed footwear design. I like to use my Tempest Los for daily dog walking excursions, and that usually means fast hiking over rough terrain with lots of elevation gain and loss. The Tempests are great for that because they are so light yet sturdy." - Geargals.com, October, 2011
 The Seven Best New Hiking Boots:
 Pay Dirt:
 These boots are made for stalkin'
 "The 10-inch Uplander GTX® from LOWA is lightweight yet rugged enough for pursuing everything from pheasants to elk. Constructed with a premium split-leather upper and waterproof Gore-Tex® lining, the Uplander will keep you dry and comfortable, regardless of weather conditions. Superior ankle stability. Easily handles rough, rocky terrain." - North American Hunter Magazine, September, 2011
 "The LOWA Tempest Lo is a carry-anything backpacking boot disguised as a light hiker," says one tester who typically humps 50-pound loads in higher cut, heavier weight boots. No other shoe tested endured this level of punishment." - Backpacker Magazine, August, 2011
 "The LOWA Baltoro: top-notch materials and flawless construction. The boot designers put plenty of thought into making the Baltoro as comfortable as possible. The leather lining feels great, as it gives easily to soften the ride, but holds up remarkably well over time, and eventually conforms to your foot for a more custom fit." - Gear Institute.com, August, 2011
 "The Lowa Mountain Expert GTX® is an alpinist’s dream — a fully-insulated, rigid-soled boot without the bulky plastic shell. Worthy of big mountains, but fits more like a heavy-duty day hiker, light enough to wear for summer peak bagging, with a generous layer of Primaloft insulation for cold expeditions. The durable split-grain leather upper has built-in flex points, which allow you to walk with a natural gait. While many mountaineering boots get hot and sweaty, even in the coldest conditions, the Mountain Experts have boot lining perforations for added breathability. Get these boots and all you’ll need is the stamina to get up the mountain." - GORP.com Gear Review, August, 2011
 "Finally! A tough hiking shoe that leaves your piggies blister-free! In all the miles I trekked in my LOWA Zephyrs I never felt any discomfort. Their GORE-TEX lining did a great job keeping my feet dry all day. If you’re planning on stomping through water, fear not! As someone who has felt the wrath of uncomfortable shoes the hard way, I know the LOWA Zephyrs are worth every penny. Your feet will thank you for it!" - Hot on the Trail.com, July, 2011
