Lowa Alvera GTX Ws

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• LOWA® CAMARA Ws

  The ALVERA GTX Ws is equipped with a LOWA RUBBER OUTSOLE. This is a rubber outsole designed by LOWA with an application-specific tread design made from an optimized rubber compound. The advantage of a rubber outsole is its good grip. The rubber outsole LOWA® CAMARA Ws has a coarse tread design, which thus provides a larger contact area. This guarantees a good grip on light terrain or in urban areas.

• Gore-Tex

  GORE-TEX Extended Comfort Shoes

• DOUBLE INJECTION

  For effective cushioning and a high level of comfort, the sole of the ALVERA GTX Ws is connected to the upper using a technically complex injection molding process. To do this, the upper shoe is placed in a specially manufactured mold. PU foam is then inserted into the mold in different layers. This creates the sole, which bonds directly with the upper to form a single unit. Lightweight The plastic used in this process is polyurethane. This is a very light foam material. Cushioning Polyurethane plastic is a foam that has very good cushioning properties. Even if the millions of small bubbles are frequently compressed, they still retain their shape and bounce back to their original state. This ensures a good rebound effect. Wide range of design options Direct injection molding means that the sole can be designed in a wide range of different ways. The versatile properties of the materials used allow the shoes to be used in a wide range of applications.

• FIT FRAME

  The sole of the ALVERA GTX Ws is designed as a kind of shell that comfortably cradles the foot. This supports a comfortable fit. Midsole with FIT FRAME rubber outsole

• ZIPPER

  The ALVERA GTX Ws features a zipper for quick and reliable entry and exit of the shoe.

• LOWA DynaPU®

  The midsole is largely responsible for the rolling behavior and cushioning of a shoe. In the ALVERA GTX Ws, this consists of a specially developed synthetic material: LOWA DynaPU®. The special feature: Even if it is compressed a thousand times, it still retains its restoring force. Thus, the shoes made from it have very good cushioning properties even after many kilometers. Midsole made of LOWA DynaPU® Good comfort The special material development is characterized by good damping properties, which noticeably increases walking comfort and rolling behavior - even over long distances. Good rebound effect The polyurethane plastic is a foam that has very good damping properties. Even if the millions of small bubbles are frequently compressed, they still retain their shape and bounce back to their original state. This provides a good rebound effect. Lightweight The polyurethane plastic is very lightweight foam. Thus, the sole scores with the best wearing comfort.

• WOMEN'S LISTS

  To ensure an optimal fit, the last of the ALVERA GTX Ws is specially adapted to the female anatomy. The last is largely responsible for ensuring that the shoe fits well. As women's feet have a smaller volume, the instep height and ball circumference are adjusted, for example.
