Lowa Toro Pro GTX Mid

Technologies and manufacturing processes

• LOWA® MULTI TRAC® II

  The TORO PRO GTX MID 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 triangular tread design of the LOWA® MULTI TRAC® II sole is ideal for multifunctional outdoor use on moderate terrain. The sole enables a comfortable rolling motion that protects the foot from rapid fatigue.

• Gore-Tex

  Guaranteed weather protection, even in heavy rain and snow: The TORO PRO GTX MID Ws is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. This innovative technology ensures optimum waterproofness and breathability. Permanently waterproof The membrane is reliably waterproof. No matter what adventure you are planning, you can rely on the GORE-TEX technology to keep your feet pleasantly dry. High breathability Designed for optimized breathability, GORE-TEX shoes ensure pleasant comfort even during intensive 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 at bay. This means you can go on tours in any weather.

• DOUBLE INJECTION

  For effective cushioning and a high level of comfort, the sole of the TORO PRO GTX MID 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. A wide range of design options Direct injection molding means that the sole can be designed in a wide variety of ways. The versatile properties of the materials used allow the shoes to be used in a wide range of applications.

• SUPPORT FRAME

  In the TORO PRO GTX MID Ws model, the midsole in the form of the LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame ensures the best comfort. This is a three-dimensional midsole design that LOWA developed in 1995. This frame comfortably cradles the foot and supports it on uneven surfaces. In shoes with a SUPPORT FRAME, the sole construction is slightly raised. SUPPORT FRAME rubber outsole Good foot guidance The three-dimensional design of the frame ensures that the foot is optimally embedded in the shoe. Increased comfort The special construction of the midsole ensures a comfortable stance in the shoe. The foot is pleasantly embraced by the three-dimensional frame. Lightweight The LOWA-MONOWRAP® frame is made of polyurethane. This is a very lightweight material.

• LOWA DynaPU®

  The midsole is largely responsible for the rolling behavior and cushioning of a shoe. In the TORO PRO GTX MID 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.
