This is already my second pair of these shoes. I bought the first pair in 2023 and I use them every day. The first pair still looks great; there are hardly any signs of wear or damage. The shoes have been tested in the desert, in winter in the snow, and in the mountains. Absolutely excellent, comfortable, and lightweight. Now I wanted a second pair in a different color. I highly recommend them. Great product.
Lowa Zephyr GTX MID MK2 Boots - Black
Black Lowa boots present an excellent option for those in need of lightweight and durable tactical footwear, performing reliably in both urban environments and off-road scenarios.
Suede leather and Cordura
Crafted from a blend of resilient suede leather and breathable Cordura fabric, these materials offer exceptional durability and enhanced user comfort.
Breathable and waterproof GORE-TEX membrane
Equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane, the boots guarantee complete waterproof protection, while efficiently venting moisture outward. Such advanced technology ensures feet remain dry no matter the weather, making these boots ideal for variable outdoor conditions.
An additional benefit is the replaceable insole, which assists in maintaining a dry interior environment within the footwear.
Lowa X-TRAC Military sole, slip protection
For enhanced stability on challenging surfaces, these shoes come equipped with a cushioned rubber Lowa X-TRAC Military sole featuring a specially designed tread pattern. Outfitted with Slip Resistance technology, the sole reduces the risk of slipping on wet or oily terrain. Such features make the footwear highly suitable for traversing uneven and slick ground.
A Lowa Monowrap midsole delivers essential support and stabilization for the foot, absorbing shocks and shielding against impacts. This design ensures lasting comfort during extended wear while significantly reducing the likelihood of injuries.
Ankle protection and additional foot support
The ankle brace system, featuring a soft collar, offers reliable protection against injuries, while an additional reinforcement in the toe and heel areas, together with a rubber sole overlapping section, enhances durability in vulnerable zones.

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 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 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 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.
Slip Resistance is a technology used in the shoe's sole, which is highly slip-resistant thanks to its special design and rubber compound. It provides slip protection on slippery, wet and oily surfaces, as well as traction on varied surfaces.

Review summary
Most reviews praise these boots for their comfort, light weight, and secure fit straight out of the box. Users highlight strong ankle support, the effective two-zone lacing system, good breathability, and versatile performance for hiking, service use, training, and daily wear. The MK2 version also gets credit for improved grip over the previous model, especially on wet surfaces. Many reviewers confirm good moisture protection, but some report recurring issues with water resistance in wet grass or during prolonged exposure to moisture. Buyers also mention sizing inconsistencies, a relatively narrow forefoot, occasional slipperiness in specific conditions, and mixed long-term durability of the sole, seams, and finishing details. Despite the premium price, the overall impression remains very positive, especially for people who want lightweight, supportive boots for warm weather and long days on their feet.

I rate the shoes very positively. They are comfortable, durable, and well made, and their construction ensures that the foot is properly protected. They grip the ground well and do not slip easily even on uneven terrain. After a few weeks of use, they still look very good. For this price, they are ნამდვილად worth it.

Very high-quality shoes, perfect for the outdoors, mountains, shooting ranges, or tactical activities. So far no problems or defects. Especially on warmer days, they are a relief compared to other models.

The purchase was definitely the right decision. The shoes exceeded my expectations. First hike: Tarnica. I did 12.5 km with my daughter. In the mountains, on rocks, some mud, 26°C. Shoes not broken in: zero blisters or chafing. Dry feet. They hold the ankle great, fit the foot very well, very good grip. I recommend them.

Before buying, I didn't fully understand why everyone uses these shoes, but only after purchasing did I get it. The comfort and lightness are amazing—after a whole day, my feet aren't tired at all. On warmer days it's also better than with other models, my feet sweat noticeably less, which provides huge comfort. I highly recommend them.

Lowa Zephyr GTX MID MK2 boots - Coyote OP, their first winter is behind them, and they are politely waiting for the second one, impregnated and stored in the box. I also wore them on a trip to Śnieżka, as well as Szrenica and the Śnieżne Kotły. There are probably no better boots; you just need to keep up with the waterproofing!!!

The shoes are extremely comfortable. The sizing is correct. They performed great on mountain trails. I hope I’ll be satisfied with them at work too. Comfortable, the sole doesn’t slip, and they look great.

The most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I have had them for over a year, and they perform well in all weather conditions. I use them every day as well as for trips to the mountains, and they work brilliantly. Worth every penny!

I bought them for my son. I'm glad that I finally found a store offering larger sizes. The quality is excellent. I really like Lowa shoes because they are comfortable and sturdy. I feel that they perform well even under greater strain on the foot.

The shoes are really solidly made. I’ve been wearing them for now, and even higher temperatures are not a problem for them. Your foot doesn’t get tired, and they are really lightweight. The only thing is that you need to check the size before buying because they are a bit smaller than standard. My size is 44.5, and you need to take 45 or even 46 for them to fit perfectly. I recommend them even at this price.

The shoe is very comfortable, and its sizing matches the actual dimensions. I own the green version and have been using it for about three months at work on the shooting range. The sole is of very good quality and lets you feel almost every element beneath the shoe. Another advantage is its low weight. Compared with brands like Botas or Prabos, it is practically unnoticeable on the foot. So far, however, it tends to slip on wet and damp surfaces, especially on tiles, basically everywhere except rough asphalt.

Excellent product. I bought these shoes for walks in nature and taking the dog out. I can confidently say that they perform excellently — they are solidly made, fit well, and are very comfortable, and even after longer hikes they do not cause any discomfort. I have used them in rain and mud, and despite that they are not slippery at all, and so far my feet have not gotten wet in them even once. I liked them so much that my mother asked whether a women’s model was available, so I bought a pair for her as well. Overall, it is a really great product, and I definitely recommend it.

Shoes worth their price. The sizing matches the description. Thanks to them, your feet and ankles will stay safe even during mountain trips. Your feet do not sweat in them at all. 5/5 with a clear conscience.

The Lowa Zephyr MK2 boots are very comfortable, solidly made, and provide good foot stability even during long marches in difficult terrain. They perform well both in forested areas and on mountain trails, offering good traction and wearing comfort. They are definitely a recommended choice for people looking for durable and reliable outdoor boots.
-
We liked these shoes immediately after putting them on — they are comfortable, seem durable, and the lacing system works smoothly, with the two tightening levels proving very functional. However, it should be noted that they run slightly small; in my case, a size half a size larger would have worked better.
