LOWA ALPINE EXPERT GTX WOMEN'S
The LOWA Alpine Expert GTX Ws can tackle gruelling tours in the mountains like an experienced pro because the materials used in the boot are robust but flexible enough, to perform brilliantly on every terrain. The boot has been perfectly designed with the anatomy of the female foot in mind.
The stable upper and the carbon insole provide the best possible stability in any position. To ensure nothing changes even in bone-chilling regions of the world, the waterproof GORE-TEX lining with 400 grams of PrimaLoft insulation provides a blanket of foot-warming protection from biting cold.

Anatomical fit
The anatomical shape of this carbon fiber insert wrapped in PU foam provides natural arch support and better fit.
Close to the ground
A lower-profile platform for better sole contact with ground, important for alpinist safety.
Close to the Rock
Flatter toe profile is designed to keep the distance between foot and ground as small as possible, for precise toe-hold.
GORE-TEX® Lining
Highly breathable, durably waterproof lining material. Keeps feet pleasantly dry and offers optimised climate comfort for a broad range of outdoor activities.
Hard Shank
This sturdy insole provides good support in footwear for trekking tours with heavy packs.
Primaloft®
PrimaLoft® insulation is a synthetic, water-repelling insulation fibre. The exceptional warming performance delivered while keeping the weight down and offering the best compressibility is produced by a particularly thin polyester fibre. These ultra-fine polyester micro-fibres are bonded to one another at millions of contact points through the use of heat. This creates a tightly adhered fibre mesh that mimics the structure and functionality of down while countless small air chambers are created. The body’s warmth is trapped here while the cold outside air is effectively repelled.
Resoleable
LOWA boots sold in the MOUNTAINEERING and TREKKING categories are designed in a way during the development phase that they can be resoled. This process will extend their service life and make a strong contribution to sustainability.
Shock absorber
Integrated heel cushioning inset into the insole, for more comfort and rebound.
Slingshot
Adapted from climbing technology, the slingshot heel stems from the experience of perfect heel fit.
Vibram®
These outstanding soles and rubber blends offer impressive traction on various surfaces and, at the same time, optimal abrasion resistance. Vibram® has always stood for premium, slip-resistant, long-lasting soles and has for years been the market leader in this segment.
