Lowa Alpine EVO GTX

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• VIBRAM ALP TRAC® NUMEN

  The TICAM EVO GTX features a CLIMBING ZONE. This is a flat construction of the front sole area, which allows for easy climbing. The performance sole VIBRAM ALP TRAC® NUMEN is specifically designed for alpine conditions. The large "Climbing Zone" at the toe of the sole enables precise stepping on steep rock. In addition, the cleat arrangement ensures that dirt is released from the sole when walking.

• Gore-Tex

  Guaranteed weather protection, even in heavy rain and snow: The CALLISTO GTX MID JUNIOR is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology ensures optimum waterproofness and breathability. Durably waterproof The membrane is reliably waterproof. No matter what adventure you are planning, you can firmly rely on the GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet comfortably dry. High breathability Designed for optimized breathability, GORE-TEX footwear keeps you comfortable even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate, while water vapor can escape from the inside through the billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane. Windproof The GORE-TEX membrane reliably keeps wind and weather out. This makes touring possible in any weather.

• TWO ZONE LACING

  Thanks to the two-zone lacing, the LAVENA EVO GTX Ws has forefoot and upper with separately adjustable lacing zones. This allows the shoe to be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced differently for uphill and downhill walking.

• CLOSE TO THE GROUND

  Anyone who travels in alpine terrain faces numerous challenges. Scree fields, rocky outcrops and rough terrain place the highest demands on footwear. For a good feel for the ground, LOWA has therefore used CLOSE TO THE GROUND technologies in the CEVEDALE II GTX Ws. Here, the sole is designed so that the distance to the ground is as small as possible. This construction height minimization over the entire shoe promotes a natural feel on demanding tours and provides a more stable footing on uneven terrain.

• I-LOCK

  Simply tighten and fix: To simplify lacing, LOWA has developed a special clamp hook for the LAVENA EVO GTX Ws. This allows lacing in two zones. After the lacing has been tightened in the lower area of the shoe, the lace can be blocked via this clamping hook. By simply pressing the hook upwards, the clamping is released and the instep lacing can be loosened.

• ROLLER EYELETS

  To ensure that the laces run flexibly and smoothly through the eyelets, small balls in the metal loops of the LAVENA EVO GTX Ws minimize friction.

• X-LACING

  So the tongue sits where it belongs - without slipping and pressure points: With the X-LACING technology, this is easily possible with the LAVENA EVO GTX Ws. The special lacing fixes the tongue both vertically and horizontally. Since the lacing is thereby independent of the individual height of the instep, this construction is ideally suited for every foot. Due to this lacing technology, the pressure of the laces is no longer transferred only to the hooks, but flat to the entire tongue.

• FLEXFIT®

  If the upper of a hiking boot can be bent slightly, the foot can roll better. This saves energy, especially when walking uphill, and provides noticeable comfort. For this reason, LOWA has incorporated a flexible zone and a so-called "Lace Loop" in the area of the arch of the foot in the LAVENA EVO GTX Ws. This refers to the offset of the eyelet and the use of a flexible deep draw hook, which improves the heel fit and facilitates flexion.

• LOWA REPTEX

  In the ALPINE EVO GTX, LOWA REPTEX protects the upper of the shoe from damage caused by sharp rock edges, for example. This effective reinforcement reduces the overall weight compared to rubber and at the same time increases performance on the mountain.

• Semi automatic crampons

  The LAVENA EVO GTX Ws is suitable for "semi-automatic crampons". These are crampons for mountaineering and approach shoes that have a rear sole edge but not a front sole edge. Wide touring spectrum Semi-automatic crampons with heel bar are a hybrid solution for a wide touring spectrum. This makes them ideally suited for combined tours on ice and rock. Suitable for alpine boots With semi-automatic crampons with heel stirrup, only one rocker mount is required at the back of the shoe. Therefore, the system fits well on conditionally and fully crampon resistant alpine boots. Variable use Semi-automatic crampons with heel bar can be used very variably due to their basket and rocker arm system.

• Resole

  The shoe model CAREZZA GTX LO Ws has the possibility of resole.
