I took them to Ben Nevis after a short period of wearing (they practically don’t need breaking in, but I wore them for a week before the mountain trip). This is without a doubt the best footwear I’ve ever had. I walked 16 km in them over rocks, through streams and by waterfalls, on snow and ice. I only slipped once (on ice) and my feet stayed dry even after walking in the snow. I definitely recommend these boots. I immediately ordered another pair.

Cordura
Cordura is a material woven from durable nylon fibers, developed by DuPont. The structure of the material provides lightness and abrasion resistance, as well as weather resistance. Due to its properties, Cordura is widely used in tactical equipment.
Gore-Tex Membrane
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
X-Trac Military Sole
X-Trac Military is a special type of outsole, which, thanks to its design and rubber construction, features anti-slip properties. It provides protection against slipping on slippery, wet and oily surfaces, while maintaining adequate grip.
Monowrap Sole
Monowrap is a three-dimensional shoe sole construction technology developed by Lowa. The combination of an injection-molded polyurethane rubber frame along with an outsole and cushioning foam provides better stability and protection for the foot. The sole form absorbs shock and supports the natural movement of the foot when walking.
Climate Control Insole
Climate Control is a specially profiled insole with a four-layer construction responsible for efficient moisture wicking and maintaining proper air circulation, for fit and cushioning. The insole with a mesh structure guarantees to keep you dry and prevent corns.

I checked, ordered one pair of other LOWA shoes as well, and these definitely won. After some time, I don't regret this choice - the shoes are solid and very comfortable, they hold the ankles wonderfully. Anyone who has had the misfortune of twisting an ankle will definitely appreciate these shoes and feel confident and safe in them. I recommend them!

Shoes are supposedly for winter, but the sole completely disqualifies them. They are very slippery, you have to be careful in winter conditions so you don't break anything, and at -12 they no longer work, your feet freeze. On the plus side, the workmanship is definitely of a high level. For this price, I don't recommend them for winter.

After a year of use, I know this much: they are comfortable, they are durable, and my foot does not get tired after long walks. That's a plus. One minus – they are very slippery. You have to be careful when stepping on wet roots, as your foot can slip, and when walking on packed/snow-covered or icy surfaces, the shoes behave like skates. The hard sole is good and durable, but it is extremely slippery.
-
The shoes are completely unsuitable for winter; on snow, it’s dangerous to walk downhill and uphill in them (unless crawling on all fours). I'm waiting for them to break in because the insole size is my usual, yet they are tight. They get wet despite using waterproof spray. For this kind of money, it’s better to buy a better model or another brand. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed with the purchase. They can’t handle -10°C. The plus is that they are easy to put on and take off. They are super light. But this sole is not suitable for snow; probably won’t be good in rain either.
-
I bought them with some skepticism, but after wearing them every day for almost a month, I have to admit I don’t regret it; they’re worth every penny. I don’t feel like I have shoes on my feet, and they've also worked well in low temperatures, so far down to -15°C. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I agree with the other opinions. Truly one of the better Lowa models, great shoes. However, after receiving the Breacher model as a gift, I returned these. Comparing this model, the Breacher is better in terms of foot stability and even more solid workmanship. But this model has nothing to be ashamed of. As usual, express shipment and quick, hassle-free returns.

I planned to buy something a couple hundred cheaper, but after further thought... the delivered shoes were in perfect condition, nothing to complain about, no flaws, nothing unglued or badly stitched. In terms of size, they look large and heavy, but it turns out they are very light and comfortable for their size, which is a pleasant surprise, even after several hours of use. At first, they may feel a bit tight, but after a short time walking, they perfectly adjust to your foot. After several hours of use, whether in the city, building, fields, or forest—no fatigue or any discomfort for the foot. I recommend them for anyone looking for high boots that stabilize the foot well during outdoor use. It’s worth applying waterproofing products.
-
I thought about it for a long time due to the price, and I also tested other shoes that were half as expensive. My rating is a strong 5* after two weeks in the swamps. For maintenance, I recommend products especially antiaqua and nubuck renovation oils—this makes mud not stick to the shoes. And even if you step in ankle-deep, once they dry, the mud falls off on its own and you just need to wipe them lightly with a damp cloth. I recommend them.

The workmanship is perfect, incredibly well-fitted to the foot. Beautiful brown color. Don’t even think about it!!!! I give 20 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
